external and internal wireless adapter at the same time in one computer? Klaus Kassner 09-26-08

Since the reception of the signal from my router is often weak in the
place where I would like to sit working, I frequently have problems
getting the internet there. Now I have a spare USB wireless adapter and
would like to try out whether it will receive the signal more clearly.

Hence my question: Is it a problem to work with a USB wireless adapter
on a computer which at the same time has an internal adapter or will
installing it interfere with the settings in such a way that it is
difficult to later reuse the internal wireless adapter (this is a
notebook which soon will be moved to a different home)? The operating
system of my computer is Vista Premium Home.

Adding the new, USB device should not hurt anything...
and hopefully it will allow placement of the antenna in an area
where the reception is better.
