Wireless Card
Remove the Killer Wireless-AC 1535 card and replace it with the Intel Wireless-AC 9260. The Intel card is vastly superior to the Killer card in every way [//www.snbforums.com/threads/review-of-intel-wireless-ac-9260-9560.44622/].

The Intel Wireless-AC 9260 can be purchased [//www.amazon.com/Intel-Wireless-Ac-9260-2230-Gigabit/dp/B079QJQF4Y/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=intel+wireless+ac+9260&qid=1553136796&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&s=gateway&sr=8-2 on Amazon.]
