BACK AGAIN... OPTIPLEX 7450 AIO - M.2 wifi
I figured that as long as I am "upgrading" this Opti 7450 AIO to the level I have already, I may as well give it excellent wifi too... And since the M.2 wifi card slot was not populated, I needed to obtain a card anyway, so I figured if this is the case, why not "AC-1200" (?) since I find at least two cards (affordably) that appear to work for this M.2 slot.. Both are AC-1200 with bluetooth... So here I am seeking input on this ... Amazon has two, one of which uses the 8265NGW chipset, which was also what I installed in one of our users laptops (so he would stop griping to me about "...how slow this wifi is.." 'cuz he was ONLY seeing something over 400Mb/s..) Jeesh... . But at least this card showed him 866Mb/s, which helped make him go away - for now. So... Has anyone tried this card?

For anyone looking at this upgrade in wifi as I was, this card is the solution. Now getting 866MB/s when near one of our AC routers, and 565MB/s "at distance" (approx. 80 ft or so...) from a second AC router. Much better operation and includes BT 4.2
