Biggest advice I can give is to get away from the USB nic cards. Wireless was never really designed to run over a USB connection. Get an internal card with an external anntenna. Also I would recommned one of the better known brands like Linksys or Proxim or even Cisco. You might pay a little more but sometimes going with the lowest bidder is not the best.tomneal wrote:My daughter has two computers at opposite ends of her house
It's not that big a house but the USB gadget gets a max of 25% signal from her router.
Is there a solution that doesn't require running wires in the attic?
I would also agree with trying to move the Access point higher in the house and centralize it. you can also try to increase the power.
One more thing that needs mentioning. Wireless will never be as fast as a hard line. It was designed as a convinces. Just cause its new does not make it better. Trust me I work with wireless on a daily basis where I work and its more of a head ache then a help.
Thats all for my 2 cents
