My wireless adapter in my Satellite P55-A5200 is beginning to crap out, it needs to be reset constantly. Latest drivers are installed. What would you recommend as a replacement 5.8 - 2.4 capable? Brand, internal, usb?

Don´t get a M.2 card, this won´t fit.

A USB wifi adapter is the most compatible thing, but if the laptop is often used mobile, it can be uncomfortable
