Looking for budget wifi card for gaming

[ARandomGui]

So I can no longer keep my pc next to my router and unable to route ethernet to my pc so I am in the market for a wifi card in the sub $50 but preferably sub $40 and just looking for some recommendations. If it helps my mobo is a gigabyte b350-ds3h and cpu is a ryzen 3 2200g

 

Edit: I will be using it for gaming and YouTube and my router is on my main floor and my pc will be in the basement about 50-60 feet away

USB 3.0 wifi adapters work pretty well for budget solutions, I recommend the cheapest dual antenna one you can find.

at that distance on different floors you need a ethernet cable

 

 

if you cant have ethernet cable the next option should be a powerline, from the router to your room where the pc is located

 

wifi sucks for gaming, alot

Yeah that might be asking a lot.  WiFi has better range horizontal than vertical.  At my friends relatively small house, the WiFi is on the floor in the loft and on the ground floor, two floors down, there is pretty much zero reception and that's way less than 50 feet.

 

Have you tested with something like a phone to see what reception is like down there?

On my iPhone 6s I can get about 55mb on the download and 9 up it’s only about 7ft down with thin walls
