    So my dorm has 5GHz band wifi. turns out my new laptop doesn't support 5GHz. It has a Intel wifi link 1000BGN. So is there any cheap USB adapter that I can get? Would it really improve the speed? I know its not good at the range and doesn't go through walls well, but my friend can get 31mps download in my room...so...ya thanks :D
