[Simply Computers] USB WIFI Problem

 

Hi,

My desktop computer does not have internal WIFI. So, when my new router/modem with WIFI was installed it had to be in the room next door so that it was installed into the primary telephone point and not an extension.

So, I had to buy a USB WIFI stick. Distance is not a problem as the computer is literally on the other side of the wall from the modem but I frequently get the message that a USB device has stopped working. This always refers to the USB WIFI. Rebooting cures the problem. I have tried different USB sockets with no change.

This never happens with my laptop which has integral WIFI. So, I am assuming that it is a known problem with USB WIFI.

Is there a solution? My computer is HP Compaq Pressario new last August with Windows 7. Would it be possible to install an internal WIFI and would this be likely to solve the problem?

Thanks,
Chris
