Hi everyone.

I recently purchases a refurb AEBS 802.11ac and absolutely love the performance with my Apple products. I have a Windows PC in my family room that has an 802.11n PCI-e 1x card and the performance has been less than stellar and want to replace it. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good card that will work well with the AEBS? Thanks.

Any good wireless card is compatible. There is nothing special about the AirPort's connection to wireless clients. I recommend going 802.11ac if possible with one of those ASUS PCI card or a good 3x3 wireless N card (up to 450 Mbps). Some of the basic wireless n cards can only do 150 Mbps which is atrocious.
