Best wireless adapter or network card to buy?

So, I’ve got this ZTE 931 VII router sitting down in my basement, and my PC is all the way up on the second floor. Honestly, the connection is pretty garbage right now because the signal is basically nonexistent—I'm stuck using this old TP-Link TL-WN751ND thing. I was looking at this adapter https://www.asus.com/Networking/USBN14/, and I guess I'm wondering if it actually works, or if there's something better out there for the same kind of money. Or maybe I should just stop messing around with USB sticks and look into a different network setup entirely?

If your router is downstairs, you’re gonna need a Wi-Fi extender—check out those plug-in ones that go right into the outlet...
