Need a Wifi Adapter, which one ?

TiGeR KiNgS · 2014-06-28 15:28:35

Hi Guys, What is the best WiFi adapter (max €150) for my PC ? I have win 8.1 desktop and UPC 30mb connection. My PC is upstairs so it needs to be a good quality adapter. I do a bit of online gaming and downloading. Cheers, TK

Assuming your PC has an Ethernet port you might be better going for a homeplug solution. You will need two, one at the router and one near you PC.

Hi,

Would the home plug solution provide better speed than the WiFi adapter ?

Generally yes, but it would depend on the quality of your home wiring.

Thanks.

Could you recommend a set of home plugs for me ?
