Wireless dongle
2 Answers
Sometimes wireless dongles are separated from the PC by a short length of cable.
I have poor signal strength from a wireless dongle so I tried plugging it into a USB extension cable, but then I got nothing at all.
Is there something special about the cable you're supposed to use? How do I order one?

looking at our stock ... the cables are 6" ish ... no longer
just enough to clear the side of the case.
the limit for USB is 3-5 m http://www.usb.org/about/faq/ans5
I also guess that because of the data transfer rates that you couldn't hub the thing ... just a straight cable directly into a standard header.
is the likkle light coming on?
you could d/l and install this
