Hello everyone. I hope all are well and safe. I am here because i need some help. You see im under lockdown from the virus. I do construction and cant work. I paid my rent and couldnt pay my prepaid phone. I use that to tether to laptop. Netflix, Youtobe, gaming, porn, local fake media.  The only wifi near me is xfinitywifi..  but the signal is only 12% so i can only do text based stuff.  games wont even open. I have a Killer 1535 which is real good. But i need a USB Wfif adaptor. Im in need of : 

  • A USB Wifi adaptor that has an external antenna or a way to hook one up. 
  • or a USB Stick Wifi that ill just attempt a pringles can thing.   Ceveat is need a long long female cord.
  • Either would be nicer if can do monitor mode. 

I really hate to be a beggar. I just figured someone had an old project one lying around. Or just an old one because they bought a new one. 

I have only 6 bucks for the next 2 weeks until my taxes and or stim check comes in.  If you have one you can gift or donate me, I would forever kiss your ass and raise you to the highest pedestal . Or send you a gift card as thanks. Or charity. I live alone in a 125 sqft cabin. i got food an TP for the next 3 weeks. dont need gas.. Im just bored of GTA Offline and minesweeper. Ive watched my only DVD (Predator)  142.5 times this week.  I cant deal another 3 weeks like this..

It is in a sense.. I cant get my phone turned on for a while. And i dont have a way to get a prepaid card if i had the money. . No its not a necessity but without a TV and 3  houses around in range of wifi. I literally have nothing to do. The laptop is my complete entertainment.  Uner any other circumstance i wouldnt post this. But this is serious desparation.  Im not asking for something silly like a game or cash or anything.    The other benefit is i can use the adaptor for a project as well. Ive been wanting to do a 1 mile setup with a DYI Yagi.  But that can wait.  Just getting by on the basics would help..  I can understand if was asking for a graphics card or cpu or something significant. Im just asking for a 2nd or 3rd hand me down or drawer dusted one. They are literally as common as a USB 32g stick.           Im not asking for 1/4 #'r with cheese....just a french fry from the bottom of the bag.

I kinda feel you. Im in almost the same situation. But kinda worse in a way?. Im my city, no one is literally allowed to leave the house. There is cctv everywhere. Anyone caught will have jail time after the lockdown period. I think it was 2 years jail time. Im running out of food and the next food ration will be sent at an unknown date. Electricity, water and telephone bills are temporarily suspended which is a plus but food is kind of a problem. Cant buy anything since its not allowed to leave the premises. Only essentials enter or leave the city. Means no electronics stores is open. Item deliveries are long gone. And its been like this since 9th of march. Right now, due to lack of entertainment , i literally learned spanish....
