I have been having some problems with my Powerline adapter,Atm I am connecting direct to the router with a long lead from my desktop. and the result is great.However is an untidy feature on the stairs,and I feel I could be better off with a Wi Fi Dongle.
Anybody recommend a good one ?
Thank you

I have a CSL dongle I used on an old PC, Never had any problems, have a look on Amazon and read reviews. Plenty of them about.

Thank you Nob.
It is just that I have no knowledge of how these things work,and there are quite a range of prices and speeds.Does a cheaap one work proportionately much worse than a more expensive item ?
I do want a good result but I don't want to buy a Rolls when a 2CV does the same job

Thank you.I dont want to bother anyone for too long...but is the 600 version (twice the speed) worth the £5 extraoutlay ?

Whats your speed Pete? Im guessing not even close to 300 Mbps so probably not.

Right Nob.Shows my ignorance as I thought the 600 item would perform faster.

Many thanks for your forbearance

It might be better in the long run to future proof yourself for the extra £5

Well it is not really £5.I'll get one on EBay for much less.Meantime this present desktop is nearing its natural life and maybe my next PC will have built in wifi !
Thanks for your interest
Take Care
