Wifi Range Extender??

Get this:

ALFA AWUS036NH 802.11n WIRELESS-N USB Wi-Fi adapter 2 watt

It plugs in to a USB port on your laptop. I've used these for years and have recommended them to others. We use it on the road (RV). Buy it from the company shown, they have awesome support and a big presence on eBay also. Some earlier versions don't have the drivers for Windows 10. This way wherever your laptop is you will have much better reception. I can sit outside any store, McDonald's, etc and hook to their unsecured WiFi. You will be picking up neighbors signals too. Just be sure to use a VPN if your doing any financial, medical, etc. transactions on a public WiFi.

Pay close attention to the instructions and turn off you onboard WiFi so it doesn't conflict with this adapter.

I'm not sure I can use that. The laptop in question is my work laptop and I do not have the ability to download and/or install any apps or programs since I do not have admin rights. I'm assuming that device requires a driver to be installed?
