We recently had a desktop user (ADMIN FACULTY) that had hip surgery in the middle of a major grant applicaton. She is our grant administrator and could not be missing in action for 6 weeks. We moved her computer to her house to discover that her cable modem was 2 rooms away.... ran to Walmart and picked up a $29 Belkin USB 802.11b/g/n adapter that worked like a champ. compatible with xp, vista, 7 (32 and 64 bit).
When she came back to work the device is now used for testing student machines as you suggested...
it is The belkin Basic # F7D1101

Subject: Wireless USB recommendation
Does anyone have a good wireless USB NIC recommendation?
We're looking for something we could plug into student computers for
trouble-shooting wireless issues as well as something to tell students
to purchase (if their NIC doesn't work). A good combo of cost and
performance, as well as support for 64-bit Windows 7 is required.
Thanks!
