I need to connect a remote PC ( no local network jack in room) to a wireless access point and was looking at USB network dongles. Any experiences/recommendations on using these devices. I've looked and some have external antennas which might help get a little extra range / signal strength that would be big plus.

I've got one. It works. The one I have is made by ASUS. With Mint 10 (two years ago) it did well on "G" but not on "N". I gather there /may/ be some driver issues with individual dongles. I haven't tested it on the current Mint yet. As I recall Don Stevens may have one or two of a less problematic brand left.
