Hi guys,

Looking for recommendations for a reliable but inexpensive wireless adapter. 99% of the time I will be using ethernet connection, but I want wireless just in case (plus its cheap so I may as well add it).

Looking to keep it under 30 dollars and I just want something that is decently fast, and is reliable (i.e. it won't cut out randomly very often and will connect easily). I will not be using it for gaming, just for random internet surfing probably.

USB vs. PCI-E ... does it matter? What's more reliable? I assume that USB is easier setup.

Might look at a Netgear N300 wifi adapter. Had one for a year or two now, decent range and speed, cant remember it dropping but maybe once or twice and i was really pushing it for hours on a download.
