Adapter: Cisco WUSB54GS v2.1
Linksys by Cisco - WUSB54GS Support

I have moved temporally to accommodation which has multiple networks but my adapter always seems to struggle with finding the one I can access but can always find the others.

I can connect to this network but this can take a few hours to find and I usually get the "full bars" of connectivity too.



What is the problem?


My adapter is pretty old, the latest driver I can find is from 2006 and can only do wireless G.
Would buying a new adapter save all my problems?

The old ones are the best
Upgrading to Wireless-N should certainly improve things.

i find if channel is 12 or greater it works better when there are many wireless routers around
