Can this be used as client? Jeff? Anyone?

I have an alfa usb radio RTL8187 from which I am able to connect to a public AP with a homemade antenna/reflector, but the throughput is slow and connection unstable.

I picked up one of these at a yard sale.

(DWL-G710 High Speed 2.4GHz (802.11g) Wireless Range Extender) The router for the public hotspot is also a dlink, but I have no direct control over it.

Can I use this alone strictly as a client transceiver to get a better signal? Or in conjunction with the Alfa?

I have no home network, just a lone pc, no router. OS is WinXP.
