Wireless network adapter

I need a wireless network adapter for under $20.00.  My internet speed maxes out on a good day at 2 up, 9 down. Right now, according to a run of Speedtest, my internet is running at 1.21 up, 8.97 down (http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/2651055124).  The rest of the PC's specs are in the PCPartPicker list in my signature (plus an MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard that hasn't been listed on PCPartPicker yet)

 

I am anything but well-versed in networking, so I need help picking a decent adapter.  I picked out two that I saw, but am perfectly willing to accept any suggestion for a different one. Is the Edimax ew-7811utc good, or at least not awful? How about the uac version of the same thing? Would you recommend one over the other

 

Thank you so much for any and all help!

I was rude and forgot to thank you all for your help.

The UAC would be my choice. Both are good options :)

Alright, thank you.  I was also leaning towards the uac already. That'll be the one that I buy.
