Extension Adapter
Will a USB Extension cable help me get better signal strength from my usb wireless adapter?
I recently bought a usb wireless adapter for my desktop. The reason I bought it was because it was on sale on newegg.com for only $7.99. Its the ENCORE ENUWI-G2. I have it plugged into the back of my computer using the short USB extension cable that came with it. The signal is low and it causes my internet to be slow or stop all together. The usb adapter can get really good signal in my room when it wants to. It pretty much can connect 4-5 bars and have full speed but thats not all the time. I'm thinking its because the usb adapter is so low to the ground its not being able to get a good shot at the wireless router in the other room.
My question is if I buy a long usb extension cable and mount the usb adapter higher up on the wall for instance will the signal increase. Also is there any other steps I can take to increase the signal like setting my router higher in the living room like on a shelf to increase signal distance. Thanks to everybody in advance for answering my question.
That should solve your issue. There are often little dead-zones around rooms, but if you move your receiver it ought to pick up the signal better.
