    USB Wireless Adapter

    Hi all,

    Lately I've been thinking about moving my secondary computer to open up some space in my living room. Unfortunately, where I do want to place it is not close to my router, and I don't want to drag a long ethernet cable across the hallway/room. The secondary computer that I have is a mATX type, and I don't have any available PCI ports open on it. My question is - does anyone know of or has anyone had a good experience with USB Wireless Adapters? Any you would recommend? I haven't used one in like 5+ years, and I haven't had any luck with them, but I'm not sure if they've gotten any better.

    I game online sometimes on LoL, an what not.
    Thanks!

    they aren't USB but ethernet which is a better connection.

    I haven't had to use them in a long time, but I've used some by Netgear and Linksys that were decent. Talking about 7 years ago since the last time I had to deal with them, so i'm sure they got better, so long as you don't have a large distance to travel.

    I would go with this if you just want a single adapter

    http://www.amazon.com/Netgear-AC1200...reless+adapter

    or this if you want a hub

    Thanks - the stick was what I was looking for. Seems to have good reviews.
