Hey people, got an old XP computer here and want to use it as my office PC, however theres no cable to and from the router, So what USB adapter would be best or reccomended for this machine?

The router i have is a N series netgear 1 and my laptop which also has a n series adapter fitted gets full bars of wi-fi where i want to put the new base unit

i would prefer to buy from ebuyer and not spend much lol

cheers, all
