Help with Wireless USB Adapters?

i have a computer that i want to connect to my Belkin N150 router via wireless. Since it does not detect wireless networks and the network card is a bit outdated, i will be purchasing a wireless USB adapter. However, do i need to buy the Belkin wireless USB Adapter, or does it not matter? 'Cuz the Belkin one costs $30 :( So does it matter which one i get or no?

The brand of the wireless adapter should not matter. I have a D-Link USB adapter that works perfectly well with our Linksys wireless router.

While Abigail's is often the case; it is better if all components for wireless networking is from the same manufacturer and the same protocols (G, N, etc).

Occasionally some components from different manufacturers are not compatible with one another.
