Alrighty, so I currently have a Killer 1103 (Which is a 3x3 MIMO) card and it has pretty much been garbage since I got it. It likes to drop wifi any time a load is suddenly put on it and then it takes it a few seconds to get it back. Sometimes it won't drop for a day or two and then suddenly it'll just drop non-stop. It has done this across multiple different wireless networks in several different houses and places around the world. Driver updates don't fix it or they make it worse.
Right now the only thing I have available to me is Wifi. There is the nuance that I am bridging my desktop to the wifi on my laptop. I very much intend to replace the wifi card in my laptop. This is the only other card that is 3x3 and was an option when I first bought the laptop: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106062 . I don't need or care about the AC standard.
Now, as a bonus question. Would a 3x3 MIMO PCI-E card in my desktop get better reception, under my desk, than the longer antennas in my laptop? I already get 4-5 bars with two routers from my laptop and with my shit internet speed I figure that's fine. Something absurd like this for instance (obviously better reception, but worth the cost)? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320173 My internet speed where I am is garbage (download speeds typically max out at 40-100kb/s)
