Peeps! Recommend me a Wi-FI USB for desktop

I would love to have a good Wi-FI USB recommendation for my desktop, as I'm moving from my home to my friend's house and I'll not be able to connect the cable coming from the router to my PC anymore. Unfortunately, I'm sure that it won't ever be as fast as it was, but for a 100mbps plan, what's the maximum speed that the adapter would match? 

Thanks!

If you've got a desktop computer and you have space in it (slots free), I'd recommend a wireless card. USB adapters (the affordable ones) usually lack antennas, and thus have poor coverage. Those that do have them are pricey.

You can get a wireless card from TPLink or other manufacturers for 30-40 USD.

I'm keeping everything else the way it was for anyone who might check out my answers in future, but I won't be using LTT.
