I presume that you are intending to buy one as distinct from just knowing the "best" one?

I am not being smart assish here just want to point out that if you want good advice then you need to give people information as to how exactly your adapter will be used.

Is it for a laptop, pc? Will you be using it with a "n" capable router etc etc?

Simply put, I need a wireless adapter for my PC because a wired connection is too awkward. I want to be able to receive and download data at a fast speed (basically gaming) from my wireless router.

'N' capable router?

The general consensus seems to be that quality gaming and wireless are mutually exclusive.

Gaming doesn't need speed, it needs low latency. Wireless adds latency, run a cable
