   I improved WiFi coverage by installing a second access point.   
      
   I was able to do that with minimal effort because I already had a wired   
   network connection available where I wanted to put it.   
      
   However, from the way you describe your installation, if you had a wired   
   connection available where your PC is, you'd probably be using it rather   
   than a USB WiFi adapter in your PC.   
      
   I've always used wired connections for fixed devices, like our PCs.   
      
   I have 3 PCs, a printer, my ham radio transeiver, a satellite STB, and a   
   Blu-ray player on my home lan using wired connections. My laptop, our 2   
   iPads, the Roku box and our phones use WiFi.
