I am moving my computer (two actually) which are hooked up to my router boxed via Ethernet cable. After moving, Ethernet cable will not be possible and will have to go wireless :(. I have other computers, tablet, phones that go wireless and work (ok, not great). So I am hoping for someone to recommend a good wireless card or USB device that will give little latency and good speeds. But still within my budget. (30 or so bucks per wireless device).

 

My speed is 6 mb/s down and 0.5 mb/s up with around 20-30 ping on ethernet. How much worse will it get on wireless. 

 

P.S. The wireless computers wont be obstructed and won't be more than 20 feet from the router.

 

Thanks.

i recently just went wireless and trust me its better than everyone made it out to be. of course i did have to spend money on the mobo which came with awsome wireless. im upstairs onthe opposite end of the house and iget no lag ingame and decent download speeds. but imo u just need to get a good wireless solution if u want decent connection if u intend to go wireless. and i have the incuded router which doesnt even have ac yet. once  i buy and better router/modem with ac then itll be even better. but thats just my opinionn

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only a GTX 1080, just a single 1080, where my glorious PC once stood....

For that is all I need, For the Emperor of Man, Jen-Hsun Huang, protects. We march for Nvidia, and we shall know no fear!

This is a NIC for your desktop?

TP-Link WDN4800 is a great nic and it's pretty cheap (I got mine for $25 CAD on sale).
