simon14: Would you get good speeds out of a USB dongle?

Two rooms away from modem, would i still get 50mbps?

Why do you need that sort of speed ? What use is a speed faster than your hard drive, many times faster than your internet

2 rooms away, so thats 2 sets of walls to block the signal. Might work perfectly, might be barely usable.
You wont know till you try.
5Ghz will be worse at going through multiple walls , you would also need a new wifi AccessPoint & new wifi dongles/pci card for 5Ghz.

The other option is a homeplug kit, where the network goes through the 240v mains lines. Can be pricey but do work very well

Spinning hard drives are around 1gbps,

Nonsense. Just FYI.
Go and look at some manufacturers specs .
Sata controller & USB3 speeds have little to do with real life data thoughput speeds on HD's btw


Heres a random real world test of read speeds on SSD, write speeds could be lower.

real life read speeds of HD's, note just how low a read speed it can get, I'd imagine average laptop HD's would be even lower

Just because your wifi works through 2 walls , doesnt mean it will allways work through 2 walls, sometimes the signal loss is too much.
As per the wifi I tested in a small shop the other day, concrete walls, so didnt work well enough to be usuable.
even something as simple as a bookshelf full of books can be enough to block it.
Sometimes it works just fine, some sites Ive been involved with wifi was never reliable, even in the next room.
