I have never used one and have resisted the temptation so far... but don't these smallish wifi usb adaptors tend to have poorer performance in weak signal condition, given their small size and hence smaller antenna size?
They may be ideal when signal is strong, but as Bianca said, she has slow reception in the corner of her office, so signal might be weak at that spot? Daniel.
