Need fastest mini pci-e wifi card that substitute with qca9377 for AMD a315-21-4808 aspire V
I have several laptops at my house, one being the a315-21-4808 (AMD A4-9125 cpu) that has the qualcomm atheros qca9377 wifi card which is a mini pci-e. The download speed is horrible (35Mbps) compared to my other acer aspire V (intel i5-6200 cpu) with an ax210 giving me (500 mbps).
What is the fastest wifi card that I can substitute this qca9377 with that will work with AMD and is compatible with the mini pci-e slot?

This laptop also supports the Intel AC 3168NGW Dual Band WiFi Bluetooth 4.2 Wireless Card with up to 433 Mbps download speed (5G) and the driver is available on Acer Support for your laptop ($15): https://www.amazon.com/Intel-3168NGW-IEEE-802-11ac-Bluetooth/dp/B079WYD6RR

The Intel AC 3168NGW doesn't seem to be mini PCI-e compatible.

I opened up the laptop and it does have an PCI express M.2 slot even though the WiFi card in it is a Mini PCI-e. I picked up the Intel AC 3168NGW and installed it. Wow what a difference.
Thanks Puraw for your advice.
