http://pcpartpicker.com/p/KF67kL

hese are the three I found and don't know the difference between them, Which one should I go with?

This the router I have, a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 Dual-Band gigabite router (R7000). I know that wired is faster than wireless, but I don't have the option to have a wired setup.

 

Thanks

What do you mean you don't have the option?

Are you not allowded to have a 100 feet Ethernat cable throughout your house?

If your tidy enough you should be able to hide the cables

 

(I'd go for the Asus one since those are the only one I've had a good experience with)

the ethernet cord slots are full on my router, so even if i have a cable that was 100ft i couldn't plug it in.

Thanks

I just recently got  the TP-Link TL-WDN4800. It is only $36 doubled my average WiFi speed compared to my old cheap $15 adapter. I am not sure what speeds you may get on WiFi but this card normally gets me on average 100Mbps.
