Has anyone ever used one of these? Do they do any good?

John, I use the Linksys Wireless-G USB adapter on a couple of my
systems, and each comes with a 6' cable. *The Linksys USB adapter
works well and it's well supported (other than the fact that support
for legacy adapters with Windows 7 is pitiful). *I've worked with a
couple of other USB Wireless adapters, though, I favor Linksys. *If
you really want to have some fun, though, make a cantenna. *The
results can be more than satisfying.

Thanks, J. Now, what's a cantenna? Is that the 'coffee can' referred to earlier?

Since Harry contributed absolutely nothing of positive value or
substance, I'll answer by saying that a cantenna can be made from
coffee cans, which is what I've done in the past. *But, I've read
cases in which they've been made from Pringles cans, among other
things. *But a cantenna generically can also refer to any home-made
directional device that picks up wireless signals. *To make a cantenna
function correctly, though, you need to have specific data for the
build, though not always comprehensible, and that's easily available
on the web.- Hide quoted text -

That's because Harry knows nothing technical, but just wants to be
noticed, so he comes here and acts like an asshole.

I could be wrong; but, he seems to be free from any burden of
conscience.
