PC part picker lead me to the Intel Killer AX1675 which looked weird with this external docking station thing, and when I googled the support for it I kept finding a bunch of people having problems, I can't even find the network card page on intels website, and qualcomm's website isn't loading for me. could someone link me a PCIe wifi card that does at least wifi 5 with no enteral weirdness lmao
