Hi Steve,
First of all, thank you for answering with such a detalied and
familiar answer. I'll keep in mind trying with a different USB adapter
but i've a few questions:

My router is US Robotics USR9108 and US Robotics are the most
respected and expensive routers available in my country. Netgear and
Linksys can be found very less and Buffalo cannot be found, isn't
distributed.

1-What happens and what are the dangers of trying channels EXCEPT
1,6,11? What makes special channel 1,6,11? Why do people offer
channels 1,6,11?

2-US Robotics's USB 125mbps adapter USR5412 can be found and set up
with 125mbps MaxG connection that suits my router, but i read some
consumer reviews with these complaints: "Signal strength is much more
less than built-in ones, and consumptes much more power when using
with notebooks"

3-Today i experienced 2-3 drops again with urgent results. Drop
occured with no notification again, seems connected (Broadcom utility
or WZC-XP Home_SP2) and "repair" function locked up the computer,
resetted computer then established connection again... The Singal was
under -50dbm and noise was below -95dm...

So, what do you say for these statements?

Thank you...
