why would you plug it into a pc?
I thought the purpose was for receiver use

i got an old computer, and got one of these lying around. normally i use powerline adaptors but this is wireless. less wires, the better.

im sure the drivers would come in use for someone. enjoy ppl.

other brands with the same vid&pid could be used,so you can shop around.

I used another brand of WiFi usb on the skybox f3. It had a screw on antenna and it showed up as 94% signal in the same room as were my modem is. Haven't tried it in a different room yet. What sort of signal does the official usb WiFi give?

i get 90 odd and my router is on the second floor. its really small with great signal strenght

I think alfa has a high power usb stick that should work,the
AWUS036NH with RT2870,no way to verify that tho.

It seems like you are all having success with your F3 and the wifi adapter. I'm also looking for the xp driver for it as I've found it completely useless on the Skybox and thought I'd make use of it somewhere else. All I get is "wifi timeout" despite 82% signal. After some messing it connects to an old Linksys 54g router, with less signal but it just refuses to connect to my Linksys 320N router point blank. I've tried widband, narrowband, different channels, WPA, WP2, AES, TKIP and unsecure and it just wont have it. Anyone got any ideas?

Ahh, just found this which seems to work ok. Money not wasted afterall.

Some makes of wifi kit just dont like each other, I used to have problems with Netgear and TPLink "N" spec refusing to play together, yet an older "G" spec card from NetGear connected perfectly to the TPLINK router, as did an old "G" spec TPLink card to the NetGear router!! (Borrowed for testing).
