Increasing my signal from barely usable to quality 97%, level -42 dBm.

I'd prepared myself for the bother of installing drivers and tweaking this and that but in the end it was just plug-and-play. All I needed to do was disable my Pi's Integrated Wi-Fi adapter in the Moode settings and the USB adapter became the default. Moode really is pretty wonderful, isn't it?

I also used Moode's handy terminal (and the command below) to disable the blue flashing LED which would otherwise have driven me crazy. To do the same you'll need to find the adapter's folder name in sys/class/leds.

echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/foldername/brightness

Hope this helps someone.

can't find option to disable  Pi's Integrated Wi-Fi adapter in the Moode settings. Is it in Network tab?

After installing wifi adapter, Moode has 2 different IP addresses,  so I guess both integrated and usb  wifi  are active
