Dumb question - can you replace the card in your laptop. While this
may be more expensive, it may be worth it both because you will not
have to worry about an extra piece of hardware, and because the
wireless antenna for the internal card is probably behind the
screen, and is probably larger then the one in a add-on card or USB
device. I know on Toshiba laptops, it is a plug-in module behind a
cover on the bottom, and the antenna looks like 2 wires that attach
to the top-front of the card, and the card plugs into a socket on
the motherboard. (Remove 2 screws, it pops up slightly, lift and
pull away from the socket - mini-PCI card)
