no signal on wnda3100v2 adapter after switching from pc to router

Ok i setup my adapter through my pc with setup wizard. After making sure connection was good i removed from laptop and put it in the router itself to try to broaden band length. Its solid now and idk if its doing anything at all. I do not need connection on laptop its already established I was just trying to get connection to reach my livingroom from the bedroom. Guess i wasted a whole day trying to figure it out.

If I understand it right, you have plugged a USB wifi adapter into a router.

 

That won't work. Adapters are there to connect a Windows PC to your wifi.

 

To get better wifi coverage you need something else. A wifi extender, for example.
