I have a nRF24L01+ module from Nordic Semiconductors. It has SPI interface. My laptop has USB ports and I have a Serial Port (Using a USB-to-Serial_Port adapter). What is the best possible solution to interface with the SPI module?

You need to use a suitable MCU with an SPI port and a USB or serial port, to interface the nRF24L01+ module to the laptop.

1\$\begingroup\$ Yes, though there are versions of such sold as (synchronous) serial interface engines, with the presence of an mcu in them not made prominent in their description, and not necessarily even part of the operating signal path. \$\endgroup\$ Aug 8, 2013 at 12:02
