USB adpater will be fine, just get one with a good external antenna.

I'd always avoid USB adapters where possible, they can be prone to overheating and the USB interface just means an extra layer of driver complexity.

Never had an issue myself, mind saying that its always been for short term use.

you may have the GT router with 108mbps cabaility in which case get a compatible one to max out the signal. beware there are several different chipsets claiming 108 mbps) .>last time I checked the matching one used an atheros chip.
