Well that is my experience. There may be small differences in the range of the usual routers they sell but it isn't much in my experience but that is only two of the major brands. I have a belcan USB external device which I was never able to make work, I loaned it to my assistant to try to get a signal onto her sister's computer and they couldn't make it work either. I think I got it back but I don't really care it is 6 or 7 years old and never carried a signal.
Both laptops here seem to work equally well or unwell as you like but their radios are built in. My daughter brings her HP here and it seems to work about as well too. Apart from the one which claimed to be one Watt any of the other wireless routers which offered extended range required a matching receiver connected to the computer and their own proprietary signal protocol which would keep a good number of people from borrowing your signal but would also restrict access from people you might be willing to share with.
