I have B450 Tomahawk MAX mobo in my pc. It doesn't have inbuilt Wi-Fi.

I was using Ethernet cable till now and it never gave me any trouble in downloading / streaming. But now I cannot use this option anymore.

Budget is below Rs.2.5k. I have a 100 Mbps connection and will upgrade to 200 next year.

I am looking at few options:

Tplink T4U USB Wifi Adatper
Tplink T4E Pcie adapter
Tplink Archer T5E AC1200

Also, let me know whether to go for usb or pcie.

I'm using https://www.amazon.in/TP-Link-Wireless-Adapter-Archer-T2U/dp/B07P681N66/ on the same motherboard (not that it matters) but it works great for speeds upto 400Mbps. Range is excellent too.
As for PCIe or USB, totally your choice. If you'd like to use it on different machines definitely prefer USB.

If your want absolute best in a bit more range then https://www.amazon.in/TP-Link-Bluetooth-802-11AX-Archer-TX3000E/dp/B07YVNM1WX

I think option 3 makes most sense as it combine ac wifi with bluetooth. If you wanna be even more futureproof, id look into wifi6

go for the tp-link T4E PCIe adapter, which has Bluetooth too.
USB adapters I have had so many issues with them including driver issues and signal issues so strongly recommend against them.
