About a year ago my internal wireless card on my laptop gave out, as a solution I purchased a 500mW USB wi-fi adapter from wifi-link along with a 12dBi panel antenna. It works great! My wireless range is so much further than internal wireless cards. I can get the free wifi from my public library a block and a half away! Plus, it has included software to make it an access point so you can connect computers wirelessly, which I have used a few times when short of an ethernet cable. I highly recommend wifi-link for anything wifi. Their customer support is also very helpful as well.

I would be glad to answer any questions about the quality of wifi-link's hardware.

Do you have to power the USB adapter via a separate DC plug or anything? Which wireless standards does it support?

It is entirely usb powered, and it supports 802.11 b/g, I recommend it!

how exactly does a new antenna effect the overall connection to a standard router/adapter?

The external adapter from wifi-link has a greater gain and can pick up further signals with more strength, the standard RP-SMA connector type allows many types of antennas to be connected.

Hi all, Just a quick question. I am thinking of buying this USB Wi-fi Adapter from the same company you used. When you say that the software that came with your 500mW USB Adapter can make an access point for other computers in the house, does it lose or weaken the signal? That is great if it works!!!! and thanks !!!
