Since I am dependent on WiFi for internet access at the moment, I ordered a Alfa AWUS036H external WiFi adapter. It should get better reception than the internal antenna in my iMac. It also runs on openly documented drivers, so it can be used with some software that Apple WiFi hardware cannot.
I will post a review once I have had the chance to use it for a while.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. Between 2005 and 2007 I completed an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. I worked for five years for the Canadian federal government, including completing the Accelerated Economist Training Program, and then completed a PhD in Political Science at the University of Toronto in 2023.

FYI the AWUS036H doesn’t work with Mac OS Lion (10.7).
It works with KisMAC in OS 10.7
It just can’t be used by the OS for Wifi connectivity
