The use of USB wireless adapters is a great way to get connectivity in any room of your home or office on any computer. They are a great option for desktop computers when you cannot place them near a router to get a wired connection or for a laptop that does not have an internal PCI card. A USB wireless adapter can connect to any network within range and give you a hi-speed connection without the hassle of an ethernet cable or other additional hookups. Best of all, most of these devices install in just a few minutes right out of the box, giving you the functionality you need without the hassle of a long install.
