Which adapter should I get for R8500
Evening. What wireless adapter should I get for me R8500 nighthawk. I have windows 10 64bit.
I ended up getting the TP-LINK Archer T9E AC1900 Wireless Dual Band PCI Express Adapter works beautifully.

Hello Dootchie
Welcome to the community!
Any wireless adapter that supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz will work with the NETGEAR router.
Also, make sure that it's Windows 10 compatible.
But if you're concerned about maximizing its speed and the AC5300 standard, there's no such wireless adapter yet.
As far as NETGEAR brand, it's still in the works and perhaps with other brands too.

What is the best Netgear AC5300 adaptater for W10 64?
What if we only want Netgear Devices?
