Looking for a stronger wireless network USB adapter...
Hi.
I am looking for a stronger wireless network USB adapter since my current old D-Link AirPlus DWL-120+ USB Adapter is not strong enough and not compatible with MacOS X 10.2.8 and Linux (Debian; Kernel 2.6.8; I know there is a third party EXPERIMENTAL driver). It works OK in Windows XP and 2000 SP4.
What's the best powerful and not so expensive network USB Adapter to connect to WAPs at great distances? This D-Link one likes to disconnects and sometimes cannot pick up a lot of WAPs. I am planning to use the new one for my old 15" PowerBook G4 1 Ghz (its Airport is very weak), desktop machines, etc. so I will be switching between computers often and taking it with me. Linux and MacOS X drivers are important and must be easy to set up with little compilation and configuration.
Are there any after Christmas sales? I live in Los Angeles county and I would like to buy from a retail store like Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, Fry's Electronics, Office Depot, Staples, PC Club, Nexcom, etc.
Thank you in advance and happy holidays! :)
