You can use DWA-131 Wireless N Nano USB Adapter - D-Link Wireless N Nano USB Adapter
I am using one with my desktop (Windows 7) and havent faced any problems as yet.

does using these adaptors affect the bandwidth that you can get from your connection ??

If I buy this, Can I access wi-fi in my PC (from a modem) and use my PC as a hotspot for connecting other devices through my net connection.

Basically I want to share my Broadband to my tablet, and when i get some unlimited net offers on my phone I want to do some downloading in my PC.
