Ahh. Well then. That presents a problem with the quality you are going to get out of something for $20.

I guess USB will probably have to do. You should get something with an antenna...it might help a little with the signal over one without at a further distance (where are you using this by the way?).

One more. (B/G/N no antenna; have it; works pretty good)
