Anyone here use a USB wifi dongle for the pc?
Was just looking to get a wireless card for my pc to save the hassle of wires etc, but then noticed something that might be even better, a wireless dongle, dont even need to open up the pc to install it then.
Are they any good? what one have you got and does it stay connected fine?

not sure if they still doing the deals but they used to give away alaptop with a contract dongle, mine is fine and fairly quick as long as you get the one for your strong signal area

oh the confusion in this thread 
I had a wifi usb dongle for awhile worked well enough for internet, but went for wired in the end as faster to transfer files from pc to pc and less conflicts in doing so
