Best USB wireless eth adapter?

[RooK]

I've got a sony vaio laptop, and it came with wireless built in, and the laptop is pretty nice, but the wireless can *explative deleted* on my *explative deleted*, you know what I mean?

And i've heard of USB adapters that are good for extending range, so I was wondering if anyone had tips. My router is forced to be in one area, and sometimes I like to take my laptop to another area that is quite a distance away, so even something with an external antenna would be fabulous... i'm new to the whole wireless thing so I need a little help... I can crimp RJ-45 all day, but i'm lost when it comes to signals I can't see.

The wifi in a vaio I would think would be of the typical Intel centrino variety. They work great.

I think you have a software/hardware problem that you should resolve rather than buying a dongle.

Make sony fix it.

You can buy simple range extenders. They do a well enough job if you're not worried about needing an additional access point.
