    Any will work as long as you get the matching type (b/g/n etc), for ultimate compatibility safety buy the same brand as a router, e.g. if the router is a Netgear get a Netgear USB wi-fi stick.

    You could also connect to the router using Ethernet, providing you don't want to use the laptop in different rooms too.
