Please recommend a dongle

libertino

I need to buy a USB adapter for my PC to pick up wireless internet from my router (that's all working fine, using my laptop's wireless no problem) as they're too far apart to use an ethernet cable. Preferably under £15 please.

Don't bother. Get a PCI one instead. The Belkin ones are fine.

Are they better? A USB would be less bother, wouldn't it? Can you please recommend a PCI one if they are better?

Thanks

At that price point there will be little difference. Just make sure they are at least G rated, rather than B

yes as long as it is G rated you should be fine.

By G rated do you mean 802.11g? Is that what I need to get?

Thanks

Yes. N is the top rated (the amount of data that can be sent) but G i adequate for a home.

Yes
802.11b is the slowest, 802.11g is 54mbps so adequate for general surfing, 802.11n is the current fastest (although not fully ratified so a lot of pre-N stuff is around)

802.11n stuff will be more than £15, plus the cost of the transmitter on top..
