- Back up north
Need to move desktop computer to an upstairs room as an office. No phone lines upstairs.
The BT Hub is downstairs, and in my new office my laptop gets a weak wifi signal, but enough to download emails etc with no trouble.
Eventually I may get a phone line installed upstairs, or use one of those thingies that sends the internet via the mains wiring, but for a quick and simple fix, I was wondering about getting a wifi widget for my PC.
The question is, does it matter what type? The BT site says it must be 802.11n compatible (or a couple of other letters after the 11).
But will this do:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/WIRELESS-AD...BGF4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345801791&sr=8-1
Or would something like this be better (assuming it is compatible) - i.e. will the aerial improve the signal strength I get?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
