Need to hook my pc up to my new wireless router.

What should I get? Want pretty good coverage (so 'N' type I imagine) and high speed.

Is this the kind of thing I want http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/7738496/Edimax-Wireless-11n-nLite-High-Gain-USB-Adapter/Product.html?

Or can you recommend me something please?

Do you have an "N" type router? Not much good if you don't! I'd buy the one that matches your router, so if you have a Netgear router buy a Netgear dongle etc. In theory they're all interchangeable, but in practice it's not always the case.

Is it a desktop pc? You'd probably be better off with a PCI card type than a dongle
