I found using wifi dongle connected to the computer via a usb cable functions better than directly plugged into the usb port. Especially on an old desktop computer where the excessive use of metal in the chassis interferes with wireless-g (unsupported wireless-n has better error corrections for flaky signals). If the heat is (at least partially) coming from the motherboard/usb interface then the extension cord will allow the heat to dissipate. Worth a try I think. Brett.
