@fitrich1, welcome to the forum.

 

The 1x1 wireless card is single band (2.4 GHz).  The 2x2 is dual band (2.4 GHz / 5.0 GHz).  I recommend the 2x2  AC card.  This allows you to use 5.0 if it is available.

 

Please click the Thumbs up + button if I have helped you and click Accept as Solution if your problem is solved.
