This is the 3rd Wireless USB Adapter i've bought.
Lasted 1 month untill while i was using it, it randomly stops.
I have not even touched the usb.
Does not work on both of my computers, and doesnt get recognized by computer, BUT
The usb adapter gets WARM when i put it inside the computer usb ports.
Im f******* fed up of these wireless usb adapters but i have to use them because i cant use a ethernet cable from upstairs and nor can i use a wireless card because theirs no room.
If anything can someone recommend me a USB Wifi Adapter thasts actually reliable under £20 Please? thanks

This card is 30 quid, it's quite old, but I use one and it is amazing. It also has two ultra-mini coaxial connectors (like laptop PCI wireless cards have for the antennas in the monitor casing).

It's quite long though, so be sure to take advantage of the USB extension cable that comes with it to position it upwards to prevent bending the computer's usb port housing in case of an accident.

I've had one for nearly 5-6 years, snapped the usb port off and soldered it back on, used it outdoors and it survived rain and 110F summer days for 2 years straight, have attached antennas to it for different applications, and it works perfectly to this day, out of box...
