Could this work to make a 2.0 USB port on my laptop to plug a USB network adapter for better signal coverage?

I don't think this will help with signal improvement! This is a port switch thacharts two computers use one printer. Hope this answer helps

From my experience this would need a LAN cable or a USB Stick to be able to produce a wifi signal. I will try to check for you in the coming days and will let you know

You can plug in anything that has a network port and make it wireless, but don't think a USB will work. There are plenty of USB wireless network adaptors though.

Yes, it might even work better, as your adapter can provide more than the 500 ma that a device USB port will provide.

It should work if your laptop's port support S/PDIF. That is emitting a red light besides carrying the regular electric signal. Some of them do it when properly configured. You have to check its specs.

Yes, it should. Just pay attention that you use the correct port (marked "2.1")

Yes, it will work on a USB 2.0 port. It will just not be as fast as if it were connected into a USB 3.0 port.

I use the USB port on my laptop. I suppose you could buy use an adapter for a wall outlet if needed.

this is not a usb adaptor, but if you have a computer port that's adaptable with the male end of this port, i suppose it would work.

Yes it will. I only use it on a 2.0 USB port on my lap top. In fact, I am using it on a 2.0 USB hub that is plugged into my 2.0 USB port. I have had no problems at all using it this way. Works well.

Sorry, don't know if I can help you. I simply use it to transmit a laptop to a TV for work presentations. It's a bit fussy but I can generally get it to work.Joel

MANUFACTURER ANSWER:Hello Jeffery,Thank you for showing interest in our products. In theory, this will work but there is a risk of voltage drop since WiFi adapters in general tend to draw a lot of current. This will manifest itself in the WiFi adapter dropping off the USB bus repeatedly. For more timely responses please contact us directly at support@plugable.com. Kind regards,PatricPlugable Technologies

Yes it will. You may need a USB to Ethernet adapter to get a good connection.

I read the answers to this and tried using mine with one port. It worked, so I attached it to a USB extension cable, raised the adapter, and my WIFI signal increased 15%.

No, but just use a USB adaptor? you can get some cheap laptop adapters, too.
