Is it worth spending another $25 for an Intel AX210 WiFi card, or is the Mediatek card actually not so bad after all? Opinions seem to be mixed here, but many also seem based on conjecture so I'm curious if anyone has real world experience of the two in terms of connection stability (wifi and BT) and signal strength/range. Also curious if using an Intel card on the Ryzen board will end up being more power hungry.

My only experience with a Mediatek wifi card was many years ago in a Thinkpad and it was a terrible experience -- constant disconnects. I suspect those bad old days are long gone though.
