OK, but it's range rather than bandwidth that was my real concern.

I'll admit that I've been lazy and haven't compared the FCC data for
USB WiFi adapters yet. But I've seen that there are some designed for
longer range, so I'm hopeful that there will be something equivalent
to the transmission power of my existing router, if the Pi ZeroW's
onboard WiFi doesn't prove powerful/reliable enough.
