Having been born before the advent of computers, I am at a disadvantage in terms of upkeep and maintenance for my personal computer. The first experience of a serious nature with a computer was with a computer the size of a small house. It executed the exact functions the calculator in your mobile phone does - less, actually.
So not surprisingly, I am among of those who had to understand late in life what to do with a computer. And frankly, much of it wasn't too difficult. It made it easier that I got a job working for a company that made computers, and fixed them also. My workplace was adjacent to the service department, and I usually took advantage of having that team of 12 excellent men at my beck and call.
But, I work at home now, and when the time arrived to go wireless on my desktop Compaq, I was somewhat confused. My ISP - then Embarq - provided me the required USB network adapter, together with the modem. I was happy to discover that all I had to do along the lines of installation was just plug the USB wireless network adapter straight into my USB port.
Of course, I needed to make sure that the wireless antenna has not been interrupted in its performance by the fridge, the cordless phone, the beams in the ceiling; in other words, things I could do very little about. In that place, I eventually had to switch to an internal antenna, which worked better in some way. I could install the antenna myself, thus de-mystifying the computer fairly.
I've moved, and this time, have had to set up another home office desk, in a different challenging spot. To my computer's dismay, I'm in a basement, surrounded completely by cinder blocks. Our new ISP, who shall remain anonymous at this time, recommended I required a brand new modem, and my purchase was a Linksys modem.
Fortunately for me, the internal network adapter is functioning fine with the Linksys, and I have not had to purchase a corresponding Linksys USB network adapter, as I thought I might. Emboldened by all this "geek" work, and my fresh knowledge of computers, I have now learned how to confidently crack a case, and install a new hard drive. Turns out I'm not too old to learn a few new tricks.

You asked for STRONGER WiFi and Extended Range and here it is. We have combined this high power Wi-Fi adapters with a powerful +9 dBi 15'' 2.4GHz Hi-Gain folding antenna. Estimated range is (depending on environment) 1.2 mile (2km) Most common Wi-Fi devices (D-Link, Linksys, and Netgear) have power ratings of less than 50mW (milliwatts.) Our new Wi-Fi device is 10x as strong (1000 mW.) This adapter is what the WiFi world has been waiting for. It is compatible with almost all laptops and desktop, PCs and Macs. This kit also includes two antennas- one mini 5 dBi gain travel antenna, and one high gain 9 dBi antenna, as pictured. It is perfect to travel with and weighing less than 2 ounces and measuring 3.5 x 2.5 inches in size (8.5 x 6.3cm) This has a stunning 1000mw output power. So if you are looking for a device to connect to an outdoor 2.4 GHz antenna, such as on a boat or an RV, this is a perfect solution. Because this is a USB adapter, it works on any computer that has a USB port.this also works with Windows Vista, Linux (kernel 2.6.6 and later) and Macintosh (OS version 10.4). And the drivers for ALL of these operating systems are included on CD-ROM - Wi-Fi Certified - Includes 2 external antennas- a 5 dBi mini antenna, and an 9 dBi antenna as pictured - Diagnostic LED indicator - Complies with 802.11g standard for 2.4Ghz Wireless LAN - Contains RP-SMA external antenna jack (one external antenna is included!) - Enterprise-class 64/128 WEP encryption, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, 802.1X support - 54 mbps High-Speed Transfer Rate for 802.11g - High powered adapter- 1000mw output power - USB 2.0 and 1.1 compliant
