The current card is a 802.11N Ralink PCI device, vintage 2008. I don't want to spend a lot of money to replace it, so I've sent a question here about RTL8811AU devices. There are cheap USB dongles on ebay and I can wait for the delivery from China, so I just need to know if they will run.
Make sure you have the port needed for these. USB 3 is preferred but USB 2.0 can achieve 60 MB/s. In house speeds can be rather amazing over 802.11n. For instance, transferring a 4.18 Gigabyte OpenSuse 42.1 ISO from a wired NAS (gigabit nic) via my Wifi Router (gigabit nic) to my Tablet (802.11n 5Ghz band): Speed Averaged 8.25 MB/s (mega BYTES sec) or 66Mbps (Mega BITS per sec).
