I have a laptop with Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6230 wireless adapter.
In my hostel I'm not getting good network (1/4..and also its not connecting to the WIFI) in my new room on my bed but beside mine on my roomie's bed I get 3/4 signal.

So, planning to get a USB WIRELESS ADAPTER to boost my wireless reception signal. Better if it can catch the full signal :D

And, I have got no ideas of these.....
Also it should support Packet Injection because I'm planning to use BT5 R2 (not much into this now but heard its important)


BUDGET-Rs. 1500/-
BRAND DOESN'T MATTER BUT SHOULD HAVE WARRANTY

I would be GLAD if you provide me some links too with your choice

Check the TP-Link 300Mbps one locally, will cost around Rs.750 only. Its almost half the price of Asus.
Contact your nearest TP-Link dealer. Check here: Regional Distributors - Welcome to TP-LINK

BTW I am using Digisol 300Mbps USB adapter, quite happy with it. Cost me Rs.900. The main reason for getting it is its lifetime warranty.

Thanks :) TP-Link seems to be a good deal now because I will be generally using it at my college (Berhampur 2-3hrs away from bhubneswr where it has got its distributor and might helpful for after sales service)
