I've got a new PC that I've been using for a few months now. I started with a WiFi stick from my old computer, but lately, my speeds have dropped to around 10 Mbps. I'm thinking about upgrading to a better WiFi adapter, but I'm not sure what's good these days. Ideally, I would like something that's affordable and doesn't cost a fortune!

If you're looking for a reliable option, consider getting a USB 3.0 or USB 3.2 WiFi 7 adapter. They’re generally pretty good and should boost your speeds significantly.
Another alternative is using a WiFi extender with an Ethernet port or a powerline WiFi adapter. The powerline adapters are really effective because you connect one to your router and then plug another one next to your PC to create a more stable connection.
If your PC has an internal PCI-E slot, you could go for a dedicated WiFi card. There are some decent choices like the Asus ones which run about $30. Just make sure you have the slot available.
If you're not sure whether you have a PCIe slot, just open up your PC and snap a photo of the inside. Upload it somewhere like Imgur so folks can help you out with identifying your options.
