I want to boost a WIFI signal connection that I have permission to access. I have a built-in internal WIFI adapter. I can receive a signal but it's low.
If I was to purchase a USB antenna would this help to increase the signal strenght or would I be wasting my money ?

Thanks

Androo

No idea what you mean by a USB antenna. The best way to boost the signal is to connect a direction antenna or if you have the space a dish antenna.

How do I connect the antenna to boost my WIFI signal taking into account that the wireless wifi on my laptop is built in and I cannot see anywhere to connect an antenna to it ?
