Thanks. His computer will be in same room as wireless router so signal strength shouldn't be a problem.
I am curious about mine, which is far from router but I'm getting good signal. It is this one:
ASUS Z97-DELUXE(NFC & WLC) LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
 
Just get a quality Atheros 1x card, the usb ones get really hot if you have ever noticed when you unplug a flash drive or that from a computer the connector is really hot. If you want strong signal get something like an ALPHA usb adapter with a 7 DBI or 9 DBI antenna. The really cheap adapters I've noticed to be extremely flaky and also have noticed packet loss while analyzing my data through wireshark.
