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.
