Hi,
I am building a HTPC (my first build ever) and was about to purchase a WiFi adapter for the computer (Edimax EW-7811Un 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Wi-Fi Adapter), until I realized it only supported 150Mbps 2.4Ghz. I have a Dual band N600 router (NETGEAR WNDR3700), so I was looking for an adapter to take advantage of my router, in the $15-$20 price range (not sure if there is one, maybe for $25?). I will be using the computer to stream a good amount of Netflix, so I would like an adapter that can do this without constant buffering. I will have multiple USB 2/3 ports, a pci slot, and a pci x16 slot open for the adapter. I was thinking about this one (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-optical-drive-drw24b1stblkbas), but if this wouldn't work for what I'm trying to do or there is a cheaper one that gets the job done please let me know.
Thanks in advance for the help.
