Wireless USB Adapter
I have a laptop with an internal wireless card like most everyone else. The problem is with these internal wireless cards and they are very limited in 2 crucial areas:
- Quality. Nothing against any of the major laptop manufactures, but they are under intense pressure to keep the price as low as possible. I am not insinuating that these computers manufacturers use cheap products, but they do use as low as price products available. As the saying goes – you get what you pay for.
- Antenna strength. You wireless card is built inside of your laptop. Therefore the antenna is also inside of your laptop. If you can remember back in the days of the FM and AM radio, you will know that in order to get a good signal you needed to have an external antenna. The same works for your wireless card.
The good news is you can resolve both of these issues better and cheaper than you ever imagined with a Wireless USB Adapter.
I looked at several different types of wireless USB adapters before I settled on the Alfa. It is an amazing piece of technology that will change the way you surf the Internet. How amazing? With this simple wireless USB adapter, I have picked up access points 2 miles away.
Here are the biggest benefits of this wireless USB adapter:
- Easy installation. Can you plug a USB cable into your computer? If so, you are fully qualified to install this wireless USB adapter.
- Antenna Strength. As stated earlier, I have picked up open access points 2 miles away. I have sat on several cruise ships, not even docked, and was able to pick up open access points. In fact, if you are a person who likes to be on a cruise ship and did not want to pay cruise ship Internet prices, you really want to get this wireless USB adapter.
I have been on over 6 cruises with this wireless USB adapter. Ports have included most of the Caribbean, Canada, United Kingdom, Norway and more, and I have never not found and used a free, open wireless connection. Please note that when you use this as cruise ship internet, you will need to be docked. It also works best outside on a balcony or near a window.
- Cost. This amazing wireless USB adapter costs less than $50
When you get the Alfa wireless USB adapter, it will also come with the software and driver on an installation CD. Make sure you install the software and use it to manage your wireless connections.
