What model is your wireless router? How far from the router are you when you had these results?

Model TL-WN722N it's usb adapter!
I am at the same place and signal is like before ,low.

Yes, I know the model and it usually works well.

What model is the wireless router that sends out the radio broadcast?

You should be using wireless N with WPA2/AES encryption as it is a much faster connection than the G that you are using now and the WN722N supports that if your router also does.

You may also need to change the router wireless radio channel if you have other networks causing interference. Others may also be using your wireless since you have no encryption.

You are too far from the radio source and since it is an unsecured radio many others are also using it, which is why your speed is so slow. Pretty much you get what you pay for -- and since you pay nothing, that's about the signal that you get. it's not the fault of the adapter -- the problem is at the radio end. No adapter will fix that problem.

I know but it should increase signal a bit but it's same.

No, the signal at your location is determined by the power of the transmitting radio and your distance from it.

Your receiving antenna can be as big as a house and it will still only pick up the signal available at that location. A larger antenna can help a little, but not much if the signal is already significantly attenuated by distance and interference.

Try positioning your laptop closer to an open window toward the wireless radio and it might improve your signal -- building materials rapidly attenuate wireless radio.
