Yes almost any usb wireless adapter will be fine. 'N' means extended range and better speed if your router supports it.

Personally i'd much rather (and did) fit a pci card for half the price of a dongle. Let's face it, a dongle by it's placement alone has a chance of being damaged or broken.
I was merely giving the OP another option, which could also be more reliable.
All IMHO of course.

Or perhaps some people (me for one) have usb ports on the face of their tower. Or would prefer to leave their ports vacant for other uses.

I may be wrong and doing him an injustice for which I apologise but he may just be after the easy option.

I fitted this yesterday to enable my pc to be wireless, tidier and cheaper than a usb dongle.

It was not and issue for me. The pc is a second back up system and is not used a great deal so 'g' is sufficient for our use of the machine. Security wise, i don't really consider WPA1 an issue. If it can be hacked it will be, regardless if it's WPA1 or 2.
Totally agree with you though. Perhaps this would be better choice for a more secure primary machine.
