Recently my house upgraded to 5G I think its called. And I am looking for a USB wifi thing that can handle 5G, mine is 3G. I am brain dead when it comes to technology. Right now I have a Panda Wireless 300MBS.
Hey Grumpy Kitten, to get a better idea of this post and what you need, what is the model of your Wifi Router?
Also, approximately how far away is your computer from the router? Are there a lot of walls in between?
I'd rather get these kind of answers sorted out before chucking products at you that may or may not help.
Matrix it's worth noting powerline adapters are VERY hit and miss for people - they either work great or they don't help a damn thing. Age of home, wiring type and quality make a difference there. Actually most people these days head for MOCA (Ethernet to coax) over it, much better reliability and transmission.
I don’t know specifics at the moment Simon . However I can check when I get home. I live in the attic so upstairs and a couple walls. Would the 2.4Ghz be better than the 5?

Most modern routers and wireless points do both - and will switch to whatever is best for you on it's own, so long as the network names are both the same. It would likely land on the 2.4Ghz spectrum by the sounds of it. However, again - any modern wireless card/usb/dongle will do both, and pick the one with the strongest signal.
Matrix up here, everyone has coax all over every home! Especially anything built 1980-onward really. Weird differences in region I suppose.
