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?



Crikey...try entering "cantenna" in your web searcher, herring...and
stop being such a lame, lazy dumbass. No wonder you stayed in the army.

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.

Unless I go to google groups or some irresponsible individual regurgitates his

So, thanks for the info. I doubt the 'cantenna' is 'techy' enough for my wife,
although it does look fun to build. (http://tinyurl.com/2ultx)

What both you and Wayne have affirmed is that the things do work. Now I'll let
Mrs H decide how she wants to go.

Again, thanks.

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.

The Pringles can is too narrow. It makes it hard to align properly... never
tried it. I used a humongous can... worked fine.
