I check to see if it has 5ghz and 2.4ghz. Maybe check advertised mpbs since higher is better although a wifi card actually reaching speeds of 300mbps is laughable and I've never once seen it.

That 300mbps has to come from both sides, and that's assuming there's no interference at all (which is impossible for us mortals, btw).
