Finally got the wireless USB working. Had to buy a new part but at this point I was pretty fed up with netgear and it wasn't that much money to drop. Plus, it looks like I'm getting a better wireless signal than I did before, so that's a definate plus. Now I just gotta test the computer and see how it holds out compared to being wired directly into the router.

EDIT: And I have encountered the gamer's worst enemy: lag. Signal strength from where my wireless device is is about 51%, which isn't as good as I thought it was, plus I've had some real bad lag. And this isn't the slowdown lag, oh no, this is the game suddenly freezes up for a few seconds, gets jittery and then pops back in with enough time for me to see myself ragdoll lag. So. Now I have several options. The first is to run a lot of Ethernet cable through my attic and into my room, the second is for me to buy a wireless router for my room and the third is to get an extension on the usb cord that the adapter is using.

There are problems with all three of these solutions. Running cable's gonna be a pain in the butt and, while I am fully able to return the wireless router that I purchased, it kinda renders my endeavors so far a complete waste. Buying a new router could work, but I do not know how our modem is configured (if it feeds into only one phone jack in our house or all of them) nor do I know if our ISP charges more for more routers in the house. The last solution...kinda defeats the purpose of having a wireless adaptor. If I got an extension, it' pretty much be sitting about a room away from the router, which is kind of ridiculous.
