An alternative that is more flexible is to get a small wireless bridge.
It has an ethernet port and wifi; you plug your PC into the ethernet
port and the device bridges it across wifi to your router.

These devices have several advantages over a wifi card or dongle:

- they don't use up a USB port
- no compatibility questions
- you can connect ANY ethernet device to your network
- you can put the bridge where the wifi is good
- you can get multi-port bridges

Any wifi-capable MikroTik device will do this for you including the tiny
mAP. There are plenty of others.
