Best wifi usb adapter for my needs?

Theminecraftaddict555

So I haven't really used or know much about wifi adapters esp. usb ones since I have only used ethernet for my source of connection and want a "wireless" change. So here are my needs

-Good enough for online gaming, I'm not competitive but don't want to be getting rekt with a bad internet connection/ping

-Good enough for game downloads esp. on steam

-Good quality and won't malfunction

-Good range

-compatible with windows 10 (should be every product but just done to make sure)

 

Budget is around 10-40 dollars. 

 

Don't call me a nerd, it makes me look slightly smarter than you

get a 300mbps usb wifi adapter, make sure it has an antenna for good range.

as for range it depends on the router coverage.

if you have clear sight to the router it won't be a problem.

but if the router is in another room the signal will be reduced.

Wireless AC is the current standard, Id go with something with that standard. BUT I personally dont like USB networking adapters so I cant suggest one. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
