    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.
