Windows 10: Wireless Network adapter

I recently had trouble with my Realtek 8821ae wireless LAN 802.11ac PCI-e nic. Every hour or so my internet would get cut out and it would be a massive problem. The only way I could fix this is by restarting my computer only to face the same problem again. My computer is a Vivobook ASUS X540MA. This problem happened after updating my computer. It was so bad I had to reset windows 10 and this problem is still here. Now I don't know if the only way to get rid of this problem is to replace my network card with another. I tried everything, network reset, troubleshooter, updating windows 10, resetting windows 10 and I'm honestly thinking of buying a new computer. And I've only had this computer for 6-7 months now. If any one can help me it would mean everything to me.

Which network adapter?

My friend recently came over to my house with his laptop. Before I could connect him to my lan he detected several wireless networks in the area. I want to connect to these wireless networks, but I don't know what kind of adapter I need. I searched his laptop model and this is his network adapter http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/wireless/wireless_n/overview.htm

It seems he could get both N, and G signals

what would any of you guys suggest?
