modem does not have wifi - can I use WNA1000Mv2 N150 to connect to android?

My internet router does not have wifi - I would like to transfer some files to my galaxy s8, would this product be able to do this, or would I need a much more expensive solution?

My friend uses 'airdroid' to  connect - even though his computer is only connected by wire to his wifi modem, it will find the right IP adress to type into his internet browser, so he can manage all the contents of his android.. :)

    Does the S8 have USB? I plug my phones and tablets into the PC and connect via the USB. Much easier and cheaper than wifi.

      I dont mean to sound bad, but my post is about **WIFI**, and USB connection is problematic, due to drivers not working, and restrictions at work due to being a network domain PC...
