    Cable if you want stability, or a decent Wi-Fi card on Intel, not some cheap junk that's only fit to burn.

    There is no such thing as a good USB WiFi card.
    If you have a desktop computer and need WiFi, go for PCIExpress cards.
    Or a PCIExpress to MiniPCIExpress adapter, and put the laptop card in there.

    MIMO 3x3 would be nice, but these are only large cards for PCs. Laptop ones are generally 2x2 max.

    But then again, you didn't specify which access point they would work with....

    My godson got himself a Galaxy S25 Edge and Ubiquiti shows that it has a Wi-Fi card there with 160 Mhz bandwidth, but MIMO 1x1 which to my understanding is a bit pointless :P .

    Sorry for the off-topic, but I just wanted to show what it's like with Wi-Fi cards :)

    EHT 320MHz according to the official specification on Samsung's website. The internet is silent about MIMO. I would not fully believe the indications in Unifi, if only because of the power management in the phone or similar nuances. If there is an advanced service menu for WiFi networks on the Samsung, I would look there for reliable data after disabling all power saving and forcing a high data transfer during tests.
