You can either go with Wireless USB adapter, or PCIe adapter. What are your router's specs?

My Router is a Verizon Jetpack Hotspot MiFi 4620/LE 802.11 B/G/N with a 2.4 Ghz Wireless Band

Can't find it on the net, don't know how many MBPs supports. However, I think you should choose from here considering the best review/rating ratio.

This is the router: http://www.laptopmag.com/review/hotspot/Verizon_Wireless_Jetpack_4G_LTE_Hotspot_MiFi_4620L.aspx

What would you suggest for my type of motherboard?

I am not sure what the MB has to do with the wireless adapter, since it's a standard for MBs to have a gigabit support. All you need is a PCIe slot which the MB of course has it, or USB port if you are going with wireless USB adapter.

So would this work okay?: http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WN781ND-Wireless-Express-Low-profile/dp/B003AAW1SG/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1385681983&sr=1-1&keywords=TP-LINK+TL-WN781ND

I can't see why it wouldn't. PCIe has bigger bandwidth and it's more reliable than PCI and USB, if that's what you are looking for, then it's the right choice. Your router seems weak (only 9MBPs), but at least you'll be future proof with this card
