Default Cell phone hooked up to Wifi adapter

Hey all, i havent been on this fourm in awhile and I thought Id come on here to talk about an idea i have. Iv been looking for a way to have a better wifi signal on my phone, not just at home but also for public wifi spots. Then i thought of those usb Wifi adapters you can hook into your computer. Is it possible to use your cell phones usb charging cord and plug a wifi adapter into it and increase your cell phones wifi capabilities. I have a new samsung galaxy note , so i was hoping that this phone would be able to do the job. This phone is like a mini computer so i am considering trying it but just wondering if anyone else has had success with this or has any opinions.

I dont use data on my phone, I got sick of rogers and their prices so i went to high speed internet and now use VOIP on my home phone and my cell phone. Im looking to improve my WIFI!

does anyone know if an external antenna can be plugged into a cell phone to improve the wifi range? Other people on other forums have said that behind the cell phones case there are these spots for antenna hooks up so i looked at my phone and found a couple little spots that say R1 and R2, im wondering if these are the adapter hook up ports? Has any hooked up an antenna to a cell phone?

There are some apps for Android which are supposed to do this but your better bet is to improve the range of your wireless network in general. There's some custom firmwares you can put on your router which is supposed to improve the range or get yourself a repeater I've heard they can help.

Firstly you should be aware that setting up a wireless hotspot at home is incredibly easy, and can be achieved by someone with very little computer experience. These days technology has made everything easier and more streamlined, so it is simply a matter of plugging in and having everything automatically configured for you. You probably want to use a laptop as your primary portable device on the wireless network, although many people don't know that it's also possible to use Smartphone's, Tablet PC's and PDA's that are Wi-Fi compatible on the Wi-Fi network, not just to use the internet, but to share files and printers with other computers as well.
