cheapest and decent wifi solution? (m2 board, usb stick, pcie board and etx)

12345678

looking around on amazon.it 

there are some pretty cheap m2 board, but they do not come with antennas

 

there are also some cheap generic chinese like usb adapters, but I do fear that they do fail like nothing

 

dunno what to get, for cheap I do mean literally a couple of euros, but only if it's necessary up to 20

 

I was able to find this, but I have no idea if there is any better

 

something that does support a sim card, to get the internet from, would also be ideal, if there aren't any at this price, I guess that I will recycle some old phone

You'd like to get LTE, or mobile service on your PC?
I'm not sure if this is possible. Note that mobile signal and WiFi is different in the way they transmit, and they're not dependent on one another.

 

If you need a bare minimum WiFi adapter, the one you linked will work fine. If you need higher speed and/or integrated Bluetooth, you'll most likely need a PCIe or M.2 expansion card.

a while ago I remember that there were around some usb wifi keys with a sim card slot in it, Idr what they have been called...

Also I know that there are routers that do support sim cards, but they are out of budget

 

it would be useful because as a modem when I'm not at home I will be using a shitty nokia 430, it's stuck at 3g to connect the pc to the internet

Ask your cellular carrier. They should have USB 4G/LTE modems or CPEs. But I doubt they will cost less than 20 Euros.
