A desktop wifi adapter? Honest question... what is this typically used for?

Adding WiFi to a desktop computer. For example, I built a computer and my motherboard didn't have WiFi built in so I purchased a WiFi card to add it and Bluetooth.

These can also be faster and more reliable than some built in WiFi modules.

I would guess that your PC does not have a Wifi 6 and this would be a good upgrade for it. I get speeds similar to a wired PC but you have to get a wifi 6 capable router as well.

Dont get wifi 6. Soon wifi 6e will come out, starting early next year, and itll use thw 6hz channel that wiifi 6 doesnt.

Wifi 6 will be the shortest lived wifi standard.

The advantage of wifi 6e is that devices in the same room will achieve near gigabit speed. Theoretically. Even if youre planning to get wifi6e, wifi 6 will be old texh available cheap next year.

ps you cant firmware upgrade wifi6 hardware to wifi 6e, itll literslly br missing thebhardware to work in the 6hz channel.

it"s the rtx 2000 series of wifi standards.

The AX200 based PCIe adapter is already same or cheaper than AC adapter.
If adding wifi and bluetooth to a desktop, it's better than AC or IMO waiting for the more expensive 6e and you get true Bluetooth 5 (requires an internal USB connector). All other so called USB Bluetooth 5 dongle I've seen are audio only which act as an USB sound card and bluetooth transmitter and they not cost much cheaper

if you keep waiting for the latest tech, you will never buy anything
if you keep waiting for the right person, you will never get married
if you keep waiting for the browns to win a superbowl, you will be dead
