If you only need a range extender, why not one of those units you plug into a wall socket, flip up the antenna and press the button? It doesn't plug into your computer.

can somebody tell me where I can find a USB powered wireless bridge? the ones I see only use power outlets. They let me use one at a workplace. I need to find one to boost my range. Thanks
