HI, I am looking a good wireless adapter for my new pc build. My internet has 802.11a/b/g/n/ac protocols so I would like to be able to use the ac and get amazing speeds. I know that $20 isn't much of a budget, but I have seen a few ac ones out there.

Of the adapters that I have used for AC, only one is around $20 that I would recommend and that is the TP-Link USB model. BUT it does not have Windows 10 drivers, so if you use or plan to move to Windows 10 then don't consider it.

If you can increase your budget, HERE is a good review of several adapters that would perform quite well.

If you are using the connection for gaming, no wireless will perform anywhere near a good pair of powerline AV12000 adapters due to their lower latency. So if gaming is important, I would reconsider your options.
