I was looking for a way to connect my desktop to WiFi.
I opted for a PCIe add-in board from TP-Link, Archer T5E. It actually is implemented as a carrier board for an Intel WiFi laptop WiFi M.2 module ( Intel 7265NGW). Installation was very easy, Windows driver loaded with no problem, and no issues so far. Off Amazon for $35.
(I got this because I was having issues with the wired LAN connection, Subsequently, came across the IPV6 TCP ChkSum Offload bug and got the wired LAN fixed.)

To get around the TCP/UDP Checksum Offload issue, just avoid any Intel Ethernet cards.
RTL-8156B or 8125B based USB or PCIe cards are selling for less than $20.

Windows has driver built in, Linux driver for this is r8152 (for 8156b), or r8125 kernel modules with userspace patching.
