How do I get USB modem to work with a data cable?

I have a cricket wireless modem, it works fine except inside my home. the reception (even on cell phones) is terrible. I tried using a data cable in a window and it worked great for about a week, then it started turning on and off 3-4 times a second cricket gave me a short data cable and it works,but when I add another(a new one) it does the on/off thing. how can I get the longer cable (with or without the cricket one )to work? I'd really like to be able to move out of the corner where the short cable reaches a window.

Answer:

how long is the cable your using. There are limits on the length a data cable can be depending on what type of data port it is. this applies to all types of cables and cords that transfer data for instance a LAN cat5 Ethernet cable in most cases without giving the boring details can reach up to 100 feet (a usb is much different)
