dMog Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 does your older desktop match up for specs to use it... and if it is too far away and you cannot move either the router or the desktop to be closer you can get a repeater.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibranium Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 You can't go wrong with this: TL-WN823N However you need to realize that all the compact USB adapters do occasionally suffer from range and dropout problems because of the small antenna. The ones with extended antennas are better. For myself, I had a good experience with using a long USB extension cable (about 4 meters) and placing the adapter 4 meters away from the computer, outside the room, to obtain good reception. Try using a laptop in the desktop's current location, to find out how bad the reception is, before you commit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straycat19 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Have you considered one of the Alfa usb adaptors? They have various strength antennas and hookup via usb cable so they are moveable and positionable. Take a look at the Alfa AWUS036H 1000mW Long Range USB WiFi Adapter + Antenna that you can view here http://www.data-alliance.net/alfa-awus036h-1000mw-long-range-usb-wifi-adapter-antenna/ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0EP-0013-00002 http://store.rokland.com/products/alfa-1000mw-usb-wireless-g-b-adapter-w-rp-sma-antenna-awus036h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sir you don't necessarily need to have strong hardware on both sides in order to have a great signal, it's a bit technical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibranium Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I think you're talking about the "high-gain antenna" (4dBi omni)? The reception sensitivity and transmission power of the unit are just average. It could work I suppose, especially if you attach the USB away from the computer (cable/cradle) or swap out the antenna.
