    I want to purchase a USB WiFi Adapter.
    Anybody is using one?

    I found these two ones:

    1. From manufacturer uawifi.com for 99$

    It's only an adapter that will pick up a wifi signal from further distance. It won't give you free Internet, unless there is a free wifi hotspot in the area.

    It's just like any other hotspot...you may or may not need a code to get online (hotels etc) or they may be a wifi biz network, with no internet connection.
    Save the money and google wifi antenna booster...make a booster for $10
