My Dell Inspirion laptop has no network socket. The WiFi connection is not good and I'd like to plug it into my router via a cable.

What are my best options, I have seen USB adapters which have network sockets. I've also seen USB WiFi adapters. Which is the best way to go?

A USB wireless adapter will rely on wireless - which you admit to be bad in your environment.

A USB ethernet adapter will be a hard-wired connection - not subject to interference and available from Amazon for £6.99 + carriage.

You decide the best approach...

Good Luck..., January 2017
