USB WiFi adapter with 25-30 ft range

[v.Na5h]

Guys as the title says I'm looking for a WiFi adapter with 25-30 ft range..150mbps or 300mbps if under 1k

Also it would not be in direct line of sight and there would be a room in between...

Few questions

1. Which is better to get a high gain or high power adapter.. Also does it make any difference

2. Can a normal WiFi router connected via lan to the pc and wirelessly connected to the main internet router possible for that pc to be connected to the main network

I've been using TP-Link TL-WN721N for the past 6 months
it is working fine from ground floor to first floor (diagonal distance about 25 feet).
its newer model - TL-WN823N 300Mbps Mini Wireless N USB Adapter should also work fine

btw, I'm using ordinary Edimax wi-fi router

Yeah, there are routers that have firmware allowing them to operate in a 'client' mode. Routers with support for third party firmware like dd-wrt/tomato/etc. can easily be set up as a client.
A standalone router should be better than any USB based adapter.

So decided to get the tp-link 740n which supports dd-wrt

Any idea which hw rev are they selling v4 or v5
