My mum used to have her desktop wired to her Virgin Media modem. She was having a problem with the internet and they had to reinstall it and moved the modem to the front of her house (her office is also on the ground floor but at the back of her terraced house).
Obviously having a wired connection wasn't going to be good idea so Virgin Media have her a USB dongle. Her problem is that for the dongle to actually get any signal she has to have it hanging on the wall close to the door on a 2m USB cable and it's just not very practicle.
My question is would a Network card be able to pick up the wireless far easier than the useless dongle? I would assume it would but just wanted any other ideas.
Cheers
