Or link me a better one. The cheaper the better, under £15.
Currently using my laptop as a network bridge xD

If you don't mind USB I would go for this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-023-TP

I prefer it over PCI/PCI-E ones as I find it lasts longer/more stable/better speeds.

I would prefer PCI as it means no cables.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway

USB has the advantage that you can position the dongle for best reception. Having the aerials stuck down behind a metal box can cause signal problems.

That's a good point, also I am a reasonably long way from my router and through 2 structural walls

shoving my laptop behind my pc and pinging google through CMD for 1 min shows 5ms slower and a few no replies.

I may get the USB one. I could always get an antenna like the one on here
