Hi Guys

I have put an old desktop in my garage which is next to the hall where my BT HomeHub is and wanted to get it on the net just for surfing, as its old pc didn't want to spend a fortune on wireless kit and spotted this would that work do you reckon? Seems to be for the weekend only

Should do.

can you not plug it into the homehub with a lan cable?

Should be ok, but if they are so close, can you not just drill a hole through the wall and use an ethernet cable.

I always get twitchy when people talk about drilling holes....it's your house, for pete's sake !!!!! internet not as important as your walls.....

I'd personally go for a PCI card with a removable antenna if you don't want to drill through walls, so in the event that the wall kills the signal too much you can swap the standard antenna for a hi-gain jobby to improve your chances of a decent signal.

An 802.11n USB dongle for £4.49 inc P&P is a bargain, clive!

EDIT:

A famous auction website has mini 802.11n dongles for £3.93 inc P&P...
