wireless adaptor wanted

Can anyone recommend a good cheap wireless adaptor, I have struggled for months with a Belkin usb adaptor and it has finally stopped altogether, I am not sure if it was ever up to the job.
I will be using it on a desktop computer, I am prepared to fit an internal one.
I have rung around the local small town and they are about £29.99, but they seem too much compared to the internet (Ebay Amazon etc.).
It needs to be suitable with a Netgear wireless-N ADSL2 router.
I am just confused which one to go for.
Thanks

I use the Netgear Wirelsss N adaptor with the same router that you have and it worked first time - automatically connects.0

Second a Netgear one. There's a reason why the ones on the internet are cheap.0

If the PC is close to the router, you may consider sticking with a Wireless 802.11g card for £7.85.
Whereas if you are further away and need the extra range of an 'N' card, you can look at eBuyer's offerings. Beginning from £15 More here0 -
