I wish we'd covered wifi when building out your machine. It somehow just got missed/assumed by me you would be wired.
I've got a Intel 7260 mPCIe card sitting spare. It came off a mini-itx board that wasn't going to need it (I substituted in a mPCIe 4-port USB3 card instead).
This one specifically.

Just needs an adapter like this for your purposes. I have the Antenna it came with.

Or if you want to buy a complete set outright:

Hi -
For the new computer I just built, I bought a D-Link DWA-582 802.11ac
PCIe adapter. It's based on the Realtek RTL8812AE chipset. Does anyone
know the particular magic to get these going, please?
From the start on Ubuntu Gnome, the card would work for about 15
minutes, then disassociate itself from the router. It might occasionally
spring back to life for a few minutes, but there didn't seem to be
anything special I was doing to get it reconnected.
I've updated the firmware blob(s) from the Realtek linux maintainer's
site. Older posts about this chipset say it's a power management
problem, but the newest firmware supposedly fixes this.
Should I have bought a different card? What 802.11ac cards work for
people here? I'm not super keen on drilling holes in the floor to snake
an ethernet cable up from the basement.
cheers,
Stewart
