HELP WITH LINKSYS WUSB100 attached to the USB EXTENSION CABLE - does not work

Hello team,

I own a LINKSYS WUSB100 usb adapter I used for my wifes desktop... I can connect to my home network to surf the net, but the signal is weak...  I decided to buy a 25' EXTNESION USB CABLE, which comes with a MALE AND FEMALE ends... I simply PLUGGED the cable on my DESK and PLUG the other end of the USB cable from the LINKSYS WUSB100 card and waiting for the COMPUTER TO RECOGNIZE the card without any problems... To MY SURPRISE, the computer would not have hired the LINKSYS CARD... He said "the search for new deivce, peripheral found but not hired"(Something like that)... in any case the desktype sees the device, but willl not hired there as a LINKSYS and I cannot search FRO all networks... As soon as I unplug the LINKSYS of the cable and plug it into the USB port of the computer - BAM my network comes up with a weak signal... Can anyone understand this? My cable is too long?

Thanks a lot for all inpiut!

DOn

There is a standard length for the cable. It will not work with 20 foot extension... Try the cable up to 3-4 feet short and check.
