1. What speed is your connection?
2. Is your router AC or N? or G?
3. What do you want to use it for?

If you just play games, stream movie and occasionally download stuff, a cheap USB adapter is enough. (e.g. Asus USB-N14 or cheaper)

You can get 2ms ping with a cheap Wireless-N adapter, and decent DL speed of ~80Mbps.

I'll usually find those with an extension wire + base such as the model above so that I can move the adapter in case it was in a dead zone.


If you want to drop the inconvenience of wires and using up a USB port, get any PCI-E version, but make sure the back of your PC is not against the wall or in a corner to avoid dead zones. Since PCI-E can draw more power than USB, performance is usually not bad.


If you have constant large downloads, best is to use LAN line. If not, get something like Asus PCE-AC88, which has both the power gain of PCI-E and mobility and a lot more antennas.

I've had a lot of bad experience with tp link products, I would rather fork out a little more and get reliable products like asus

I agree with you, but if your router it's at the living room and you wanna connect a Lan to your room then you'll be required to do trunking and stuff. But it is still cheaper

Last time I asked some guy to do trunking with a cat 6 cable only costed me like $70 it was at least more than 10m cable + he did some drilling
