I got a old pc off of craigslist. Requires wireless. Cannot use a wired connection. Built in wireless has 0.4 mbps speeds. I am going to use this for a media server. Needs to have a range of 10-20 feet. I would want the adapter to be 50 usd or less. Any thoughts?
Need wireless adapter under 50 dollars

Why can't it use a wired connection? Are you leeching off your neighbor's wireless?
Robert Walker
get a wireless card instead
Jordan Torres
It only requires 10 mb per second at most and it is so my amazon fire tv stick with some other devices can stream from it.

Switch is 10 feet away in another room.

Any recommendations?

OP, look up Power line

You don't need a server to be in any specific place, right?
Evan Reed
I only have space in one room that I am allowed to store it in my apartment

It's super unreliable. If it's 10 feet and the wall isn't reinforced concrete, wireless will work better. (Still not better than 10 feet of cable and a drill though.)

You have a media server at your house and you're okay with 1/2 the bitrate of netflix...?
What the fuck is wrong with you Luddites.

Just use a router as bridge.
Jacob Wood
Well, i might end up doing this. Thanks
Jonathan Perry
literally the cheapest tp-link card you can find.
Oliver Butler
OP, don't do this. All the pirated shit you download will going through the air and make you trackable. It is only safe to let these media files transfer directly between computers. Maximum security FTW.

I need a cheap adapter compatible with linux. My shitty realtek rtl8723be is disconnecting and has low signal.

They're actually garbage, don't believe the hype
Ayden Myers
You can have mine for $20.
