    it all depends.. theres wireless adapters that are used for longer range.. others are wireless adapters that are used if the laptop dosnt have a wireless adapter already on the computer.. who cares about it doe.. if you want one with long range get a good wireless router.

    ...oh how far you computer can be away from your computer?

    Read over what you wrote next time.

    A wireless adapter is for your PC, it connects to the router at a specified range depending on the type of wireless router/adapter you have. Basically it means no wires so can increase distance and convenience.

    Wireless adapters are ment for the computers not for the router. They are used for getting the signals broadcasted from the router.

    Your question must be related to wireless access point/Boosters.

    If yes then yes they are used for boosting the wireless signals..
