I read great reviews on the ALFA AWUS036H WIFI ADAPTER (Amazon.com : Alfa AWUS036H 1000mW 1W 802.11b/g USB Wireless WiFi network Adapter with 5dBi Antenna and Suction cup Window Mount dock - for Wardriving & Range Extension : Networking Devices : Computers & Accessories ) .
I purchased the 2013 Nexus 7 to replace both my travel computer and my Kindle for ease of travel but found it not as effective in finding nearby WIFI so researched until I found the above Alfa adapter .. tried it on my Windows 7 .. works GREAT! But what I REALLY need is better WIFI on my Nexus 7!
Being a grandmother of 10 .. I am not too "techie" so my question is:
1. Is there a way of using a USB cable to copy the Alfa adapter software from my Windows 7 laptop to the Nexus 7? Frankly I would need step by step instructions! (Sorry!)
2. After this is done .. would I be able to use adapters/converters to connect the adapter to the tablet .. as the ALFA ADAPTER IS "MINI" USB .. NEXUS 7 IS "MICRO" USB?
Amazon.com : Afunta? Android Tablet Gadgets Set Cable Adapter Hdmi Cable (Bend OTG+HDMI) : Mini Hdmi Adapter : Electronics
3. Then use a Mini B Cable to plug it into an electrical source?
Amazon.com : USB 2.0 A to 5-Pin Mini B Cable - 10 Feet : Computer Usb Cables : Computers & Accessories
If a smart techie person can help me I would SO appreciate it! Of my 10 grandchildren not one of them lives in the same state .. nor can help me!
Thanking you in advance .. best regards,
Kate
