Netgear USB Wifi Adapter

After finding out that HP whitelists just a few, internal wifi cards and being unable to upgrade a laptop for someone, this was the next best, name-brand solution. It works well on a USB 2.0 port and, per speedtest.net, was reliably maxing out the internet downstream connection at about 230mbps.

I used to use an antenna that connected directly to the PCI-e port. It started to have connection issues, where I would get huge ping spikes when I'm gaming.
