That's probably what you are looking for unless you have a new router that supports AC. Even then the "AC" routers are backwards compatible and I'm not sure a good "AC" adapter would be noticeably better.

Things to look for:
a) good customer reviews
b) dual-band (if you support 5GHz setup your router to use that)
c) the Mbps (cheaper ones might be 150bps)

FYI, in the real world you'll never see the listed Mbps bandwidth, but I have a $30 USB wi-fi adapter, Netgear WNDR3200 (or similar router) and can almost broadcast full BluRay quality from my wi-fi PC down to the basement wi-fi media device (works but stutters occasionally).

In order to give you the best, I need to know your router's make and model number. Once I have this, I will let you know which wireless network adapter is for you.
