Suggestions for a good one to buy Peter? The usb-wifi's I have bought
have generally been a waste of money. Too much neighborhood interference
I think. I've not scanned recently but found over a dozen usable signals
from the shop building in the upper rear corner of the back yard a year
or so back. Thats way too many in a 2.4 gig band. Gotta be connection
killing interference.
Thanks Peter Wallace
