Hey everyone, I am building a PC and I completely forgot about the wireless adaptor ...
I do not play many multiplayer games except from the odd session on CSGO. I want a stable and reliable connection because I do alot of downloading and uploading, and I do not want any hiccups whilst uploading videos to Dropbox and YouTube etc. I would be very thankful if you could point me in the right direction.

Cheers,
Robin

Edit: I am currently looking at the TP LINK WDN4800, could you let me know if this is any good?
Thanks again

Reliable/stable and WiFi can almost be an oxymoron.

There are many environmental variables that can cripple even the best wifi cards.

Assuming hard wired directly to router is not an option I would look at an av500 or av1000 powerline adapter first.
While they can have their quirks too depending on how "dirty" your power is, they are far more likley to be stable then WiFi is.
They also, because they are not wireless, will have lower latency which is what is most important for gaming.
