Wireless Adapter 150Mbps RT5370 Chipset
This was an inexpensive adapter I purchased from Amazon.com. The product description is: Connecting Wireless Adapter 150Mbps RT5370 Chipset With Antenna 802.11n/g/b USB2.0 Support Windows/Linux/Mac Raspberry Pi/Pi 2.
Let’s see what an $8.99, 802.11b/g/n adapter can do.

That is a tangible jackpot; I am enjoying katsakis.com.
Here is an interesting presentation recompense you. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=wireless+adapters+usb
In the group of five adapter tested, the AWUS036NEH and Tenda W311M had the highest received signal from the AP of -32dBm and -38dBm. This is contrary to what I expect because Tenda W311M in particular has the smallest antenna and likely no amplifiers from the small size of the adapter. I expected the adapters with the external antennas to have the highest received signal strength. Instead, the dongles with the external antenna like the TL-WN722N had the weakest received signal of -54dBm.
I agree, I was surprised as well. I feel that the little ones don’t have the range of the external antenna models (but didn’t test them at extreme ranges.)
