Yes, you will definitely get a much better internet signal if you have a USB Ethernet adapter for your laptop in a Wifi area. It would help very much.
You can go back to the store where you purchased the computer and ask for a good quality USB Ethernet which is cheap or search in amazon.com for the cheap & top qualified USB Ethernet adapter.
A USB to Ethernet Adapter is a great device for a person who is looking to use a wired internet connection instead of Wi-Fi. Stores that sell a USB to Ethernet Adapter are Best Buy, Tiger Direct, Fry's Electronics, and Wal-Mart.
It depends on where you buy it, but I think it costs in the neighborhood of $40-60. The sale would likely be over, but you can still wait a while until the next one comes along.
A USB Ethernet adapter is in no means, a necessity for you to buy. However, it comes with benefits if you don't have a home based connection set up. They allow computers without Ethernets to hook up, a USB Ethernet and still have a home based connection.
Internet cannot travel through a USB cable, you would have to buy an ethernet cord and an ethernet adapter or use the Wii's wireless capabilities.
Unfortunately not, a periphal is anything that can be connected to the outside of a computer, but does not become part of the computer... an example for a peripheral would be: USB, bluetooth adapter, wireless internet adapter, keyboard and mouse... ect. The USB cable would be classed as a data cable, and the ethernet as a networking cable.
Yes, it is possible to have two ethernet ports on a laptop. While there is no laptop that I am aware of that comes with two, you can still add a second device. Ethernet adapters come in both PC Card and USB varieties, so assuming you have a free USB port or PC Card slot you can simply plug one in. In this configuration, you can use the onboard network adapter, and the USB/PC Card adapter at the same time.
USB stands for Universal Serial Bus... If you meant to ask if you can use your USB port to somehow connect to the internet, then yes. You can get a USB wireless (Wifi) adapter if you have a wireless network (or wireless router, connect to a high-speed internet connection like Cable, DSL, etc...) If you do not have, or don't want a wireless network but would still like to connect to the internet through Ethernet, but don't have an Ethernet network card on your computer, you can use a USB Ethernet adapter.
try a usb to ethernet adapter like TRENDnet TU-ET100C
Ethernet has a faster transfer rate then usb.
Yes, a Nintendo USB Wi-Fi Connector Adapter will cost money. Depending on the store you buy it from the price ranges between $17.95 and $40 dollars.
