Posted September 25, 2016 Hello, First post here. Recently my work took away our wifi access. I have access to a neighbors wifi but the signal is horrible, I get maybe 1 or 2 bars on the connection display. I also have access to Xfinity hotspots which there are two of closer to me, occasionally I can connect to them but typically it looses speed and cuts in and out after a bit. Any suggestions on a usb wifi adapter I can use that has an external antenna? Also, If I were to buy an adapter with a connected antenna could I use a usb extension on it, and still have it work? Basically my computer is in one place and I need an antenna about 8-10 feet away to pick up a decent signal. My tech level is somewhat intermediate, so if possible add links to anything you may suggest. Thank you in advance for your help!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 25, 2016 Wow. You can use neighbors wifi? What country is it? Can I move in with you? Any wifi with 802.11ac will be fine. Stick to one with 2.5GHZ as it boost connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 25, 2016 Author LOL thanks! yes, im friends with our neighbor at work and they offered to let me use it, but signal strength is just not there. Figure a good wifi with an antenna to get closer or a can may work. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
