Budget 0-20k Wifi adaptor

[Wittycomment]

Need advice on a wifi adaptor dual band.
Does the wifi adaptor enable bluetooth also or i need to buy a seperate one for that also?

BT is a different technology and its adapter needs to be purchased separately.

Nope. All adaptors will be either Wi-fi or Bluetooth.

If you're looking for a PCIe based solution you can try the following:

I have using one for the past couple of years. Much better than USB based solutions with literally zero network drops even when transferring data ranging in 20-50 GB range. Max speed I have experienced is around 12-15 Mb/S over a 5Ghz connection

Wifi 6 Version:

I have Asus ax58bt that has both wifi and Bluetooth. This is a pcie x1 card and Bluetooth is enabled whn the bundled cable is connected to Bluetooth header on the motherboard. If your mobi is not having such header, BT won't work.

Do you need it for PC or laptop? Does it necessarily have to be USB?

If PC, then you can look at something like this:

https://www.amazon.in/T5E-Bluetooth-Antennas-Interface-Low-Profile/dp/B084GT36WQ/

If you need it to be USB, then buying separate adapters would be recommended, no reputed brand has a dual USB adapter.

BTW, why exactly do you need Bluetooth? Is it for audio?

Nope. All adaptors will be either Wi-fi or Bluetooth.

Actually combination adapters do exist but you need to risk unknown or unbranded. Another one here.
I still use an old Cirago one with my Rpi 2b.
These do not suppport the latest standards though so as others have mentioned, its better to buy separate ones or go the pcie route.

If you're buying for a laptop then you can get ones that will do both. Otherwise tough l luck!

 

[Wittycomment]

Okay thanks everyone for all the advice. I will look around for pcie if not go for separate options for usb ones.

Nah I am buying for my PC.

You have 3 Options -

Bluetooth 4.2 + 867Mb/s (100MB/s approx.) 5GHz Wi-Fi - https://www.amazon.in/T5E-Bluetooth-Antennas-Interface-Low-Profile/dp/B084GT36WQ

Bluetooth 5.0 + 1.73Gb/s (216MB/s approx.) 5GHz Wi-Fi - https://www.amazon.in/Asus-AC2100-Dual-Band-160MHz-Adapter/dp/B07KTJ1N5X

Bluetooth 5.0 + 3 Gbps (375 MB/s approx.) 6GHz Wi-Fi - https://www.amazon.in/Asus-PCE-AX58BT-Dual-wifi6-Adapter/dp/B07Y2BNRHZ

Do check your router info before buying a Wi-Fi card. If it doesn't output more or same bandwidth of a Wi-Fi card you buy then you will not use the card to it's potential.
