Wireless USB question

Hey guys I have been browsing for about 4 hours to get some answers and
hopefully someone here might have something to say about this.
I work in a building where the access point is on the 2nd floor and I'm
on 6th. I have a network dropout about 2wice every 15 minutes so I got a
USB adapter with an external antenna
('eBay: USB Wireless 802.11G Adapter Card w RP-SMA Antenna Jack (item
290133673761 end time Jul-04-07 21:00:00 PDT)'
(http://tinyurl.com/2t4s74)).

That helped but not much. I need something to increase my adapter
sensitivity as well as increase transmit power. I found the hawkings
HSB2
'Hawking Technologies' (http://tinyurl.com/7p2na)

Question is will this work and will it work without burning my USB
adapter out.
Everyone that talks about the HSB2 talks about attaching it to the
accesspoint not the adapter.
Also read somewhere that this device might put out significant amount
of radiation, would it be a bad thing to sit next to one 8 hours a
day?

Any help input suggestions comments etc welcome. Sorry for the long
writeup

JKO

4 floors is quite a distance, I'm surprised you even get a connection.

It's omni directional.

Don't worry about that.

Don't worry about that.


I think you should get something directional antenna.
