You can get 1 watt or higher USB wifi adapters for a very low price
nowadays. Here's one for around $20 including shipping:

or search eBay for RTL8187L. Even 500mW will perform much better
than any internal or pcmcia card.
I bought a Alfa AWUS036H usb WiFi adaptor and while its better than
the x30 internal wireless Intel 2200BG
it still drops in one room (horizontal to the router).
I have found a video on youtube

I get some of the extra tabs but not the "Tx power" in the general
tab and also no "CCX" tab that i expect to be able to increase the power of the
Alfa adaptor.
Is there something else i need to do since its a UK sourced adaptor to unlock
these options?
thanks for your time
