My wireless adapter keeps losing connection, so I am in need of a new one. I do not want to spend too much, so it looks this could be the one I should buy. Should I?

I need one too that sounds like a bargain $15.90. I might get one.
Sounds good by the

They say it works from a quick Google search. If it doesn't, I wont care, it's so cheap

. Hope it works out for you as well, Lee79.

why dont you just get a wireless modem?
lits of companies give them free on special offers or even let you rent it for cheap.

I already have wireless in my house. My wireless connection keeps dropping off(I know its the adapter because my mum's lappy works fine).

I have a wireless modem/router. This is a wi-fi receiver so you can connect to the router it is for my laptop so i can connect. I need a usb one as the internal wi-fi on it is rubbish.

Just bought it then

. Along with 100 powerful magnets and a Black DS Phat replacement shell for my brother. I love the Australian dollar right now( 89 cents

)

Im loving the pound doller rate. Amazon uk have down as 16.99 GBP + postage.
15.90 USD = 8.00 GBP = 18.1900 AUD.

 

[TLSpartan]

The USD sucks everywhere right now. 1 CAD=1 USD

Just curios: How does the connection rate of those things compare to an average usb dongle? As small as it might be, it looks like it would still be in the way, at least on my desk

It comes with velcro sticky pads to stick to a wall.
