Hey guys, need some advice. I am looking for a wi fi booster for my laptop.Something that I can connect by usb, Not sure how well they work?
We have some free wireless access points in town, If I move the laptop to another room I can connect better. If you could give me a link to a place to buy it I would appreciate it. Amazon is preferred,

Sounds like a repeater may be a good option, but they aren't cheap generally.
They will pick up a WI-FI signal and then rebroadcast it locally.

A less pricey solution is Ubiquite - WIFISTATION-EXT WLAN USB 802.11g/n 1000mW EXT
http://www.ispsuppli...TATION-EXT.html
I got one to extend the range to a remote building on our property. The signal went
from 3-6 MB/Sec to 54 MB/sec. I also got a 18dBi antenna to replace the stock
6dBi omni (included). It has a 4m USB connection. I mounted it on the wall and it
just works.
