I have a TP Link TL-WN725N and an Edimax Nano (can't remember the model) which both work out of the box.
Thanks for the quick reply. I want to order it asap so I can get it before Friday.
I had good results with
this.
Although if you want to play HD video reliably then wired ethernet is always best.
Data is stored locally this will only be for updating the library

I am looking at this one.

Works perfectly out of the box at 11N speeds.

I benefit that the TP Link has over the Edimax is that the LED doesn't light the room up like a Christmas tree, trivial I know but I use my Rpi in my bedroom and i woken up in the middle of night thinking that I'm about to be abducted by aliens!

I just got my Edimax today and the light is dim, they may have redesigned it.
