I'm looking to buy a wireless network card (pci or usb) within the next few days.

I've researched that PCI is more stable, and that a USB one can overheat and kill itself.

The PC is going to be used for Internet surfing and YouTube mainly, probably won't be gaming much, if at all. The PC is about 25 ft away from the router, 2 basic interior walls in between.

Powerline method is more than I want I want to pay for.
I'm looking for something around $20~. Cheaper the better, as long as it's not terrible in durability/performance. I'm just looking for something that's good "bang for bucks" for the avg PC user doing the tasks mentioned earlier.

I don't need "flexibility" so having a PCI network card is fine, but those tend to cost slightly more than the USB ones. As I've seen USB ones as cheap as $10, those really really small ones. (Smaller than the USB stick size.)

Also, I don't know what specs I'm looking for. I assume everything will be compatible? My router/modem is the stock Telus one.
