A lot depends on what wifi you have. Are you using N or the newer AC standard. How far are you from your wireless router?

Another option rather then wireless is to use powerline. This provides a connection through your household wiring. This can be a better solution for a desktop pc since you can get higher speeds and doesn't have the bottlenecks that wireless can. Check out NETGEAR Powerline 500Mbps Adapter - Starter Kit (XAVB5201). Can give you 500mbs speeds (reality is lower) but will surpass most wifi unless you are using a top router with a multi radio client.
