DSL/Router Jack isn't installed near my Desktop PC running Win 8.1

Hi Guys

Hoping someone more technical can help me with my new DSL/Teksavvy service. I had hoped to buy a desktop PCI-E adapter for my Win 8.1 machine but it seems they are all unstable or not supported in this version of Windows.

Is there a Power Plug adapter I can get that extends your network regardless of which 3-prong wall socket you plug it into? Any other suggestions? I dont want to run wires everywhere, so that was my idea about using a wireless card. USB Dongles are not really made for extended 24/7 usage.

Any help would be greatly appeciated guys

Umm ... there are tons of pci-e adapters that work for Windows 8/8.1 and not that expensive at all ... you have to look around. I bought this one for $40 and its a wireless ac adapter (better then n) and yes only $40 and it works on the Win 8.1 desktop just fine.

Also has built-in Bluetooth 4.0 so I can copy files to & from my android device (pictures, music, etc) without need for cables. Pretty functional card. Uses intel chipset as well. Impressed at quality & price.
