Can anyone recommend a usb wi-fi adapter?

Hi,

basically I broke the wireless switch on my laptop and now can only connect through either-net and that is getting too inconvenient.

Can someone give me some recommendations for wi-fi usb adapters? Any good brands?

I don't have experience with this adapter, but it cheap and has good reviews on both Amazon and Newegg. Why I recommend it is due to it's size, so it won't have to be removed every time you put the laptop away.

Any cheap adapter will do. They all perform nearly the same, it's just a receiver. Don't let the marketing fool you, and snag one for a buck or two on ebay.

What the reasons are for the large price differences btwn certain brands/models, I don't know.

Its a transmitter as well otherwise it won't be useful at all.
