So, if my computer is in the room that has the wireless issue and this needs to be plugged into a computer, How does this help?

It only needs to be plugged in to a computer during set up. After that it can be disconnected from the computer and moved to wherever it provides the best improvement in signal strength from your router.

Is this question in reference to something else? I don't know what "wireless issue" you're talking about. And, no, the booster doesn't have to be plugged in to anything but an electrical outlet.

The connection the a computer is only required during the setup process. After the unit is connected to the network it works as a stand alone network device like your router. It just needs to be connected to a power outlet in a location where the signal strength from the router is at least 70%.

Paul, Appreciate the input. But, that's not it. It's been connected to the wireless network the whole time. Any other ideas? Anybody?

Wireless to your computer or laptop but you must connect speakers to each with a wire that connects the right speaker to the left speaker and must plugged into the wall for power source

I used instruction to installed and it was very clear what to do there. First you use installation CD and then you will be promoted to connect wifi adapter to one of your USB ports. After that you have to find your wireless network and enter the name of your network and password. And yes using this device solved my bad wireless connection problem. Good luck.

Hi: It also can be hooked to your computer with the supplied USB cable. Therefore you don't have to run it wirelessly, or have it beside your modem for the ethernet connerction

The issues I have had has to do with the computer turning off wireless when it is not in use. There is a fix if you google it. I think it had to do with downloading the latest drivers and telling the computer to never turn off the wireless. Yatish, that is a little harsh since this is easily the best gaming PC for the money, and a simple google search tells you how to solve the problem.

No. This will provide a computer with a wireless (WiFi) connection to a wireless router or access point.

You have to have it connected to the computer,,it is not wireless! It works really well though! I use it for my classroom library!

It connects to your wireless router, not your computer directly. The environment that your equipment is in highly affects the distance that it needs to be to the wireless router. Check out the following link: http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/wirelessproducts/f/wifirange.htm

You need to plug it in the wall with the electric cable. Then connects to the computer with the USB cable.

I would guess- I could move it from outlet to outlet if need be... it is ONE plug- as long as your wireless is in y our whole house- or patio- it is on a stand and the keyboard/mouse is connected- so if you think it is easy- do it.

it has wireless card inside the PC tower, but not reliable. When I used it, the PC lost wireless connection every hours and I had to remove and connect it again. My laptop on the same room didn't have such problem.it is most possible to be the hardware issue

I saw this same fix described on another site, and I was excited that it appeared I finally had a solution to my problem (which is that the wireless connection works fine on AC power but is spotty at best on battery power). Then when I went in and made this change and tried unplugging the AC, the problem was still there (maybe not quite as bad but still unacceptable). Mine is Vista though, not Linux btw.
