Residential Home WiFi has interference from hot WiFi neighbors.
The must be running watts output.
Had the ISP install a new box that has AC WiFi, dual band etc.
They gave me one AC adapter (USB) for my main PC.
It is fast WiFi now.
Now I want to get AC to USB Adapters for other laptop PCs.
One is Windows XP the other is Windows 10.
I see some units do not support Windows 10.
I hope not to pay much more than $20 US.
I see various units coming from unheard of manufacturers.
They must have gotten a deal on the chips.
Do I need one with a built-on antenna ?
Seems desirable.
Do I need speed greater than 600 ?
I do not know how to translate that number to my needs.
I'm watching movies on a PC that is WiFi to the viewing PC.
Some units offer AP (access point) capability.
That seems desirable.
Suggestions please.

So, yank that adapter and use a real Ethernet wire instead. It's very fast,

and doesn't receive or create interferening signals.

If you only use one PC at a time, you could just move the one adapter around.
