Can you recommend a wireless USB adapter that has a good range?

Hi all

I am setting up my neighbour over the road to pick up my broadband
signal. I need to get a USB Wireless adapter that will pick up the
signal.

Can anyone recommend a relatively cheap USB adapter that has a good
pickup range?

mant thanks

Harry

Harry,

other people on this group are much more expert on this issue than
myself.
I have found the usb wifi adapters such as the Gigafast WF741-UIC
Wireless Adapter. Most of these similar products seem to use the
ZyDAS chipset
Very good reception and very easy to set up.
I have not found as good performance with the Linksys WUSB11 USB
adapter model.
to boost reception check out :

waiting to see what Jeff's comments are.

Down here in New Zealand a new translucent blue/green ~US$35 Genius USB
"g" shows great sensitivity to weak signals. See a recent field test
over 1 km where one is used with a cookware parabola to establish a
links viability => www.usbwifi.orcon.net.nz/wifi1km.jpg It works
seamlessly with NetStumbler 0.4 as well. This dongle picked up APs
8-10km LOS away at the same time we were testing over just a km !
