Thats what it looks like.

I was wondering where I could get one of those that would directly connect to my laptop for increase wireless network signal.

And by the way I'm looking for major retailers (Staples, Target)

Be sure to include any price or quality details like if this actually works or if I can actually just snap this into my laptop.

Answer 4

Well, it matters what kind of reciever you have. You can't "directly" hook it up, unless you WiFi card is external, and has a port for it. If you have an internal WiFi card, good luck. It'll take quite some modding. Explain your card specs.

Answer 5

most laptops the antenna are internal with no external input

what you could get and they work well is a USB high gain wireless adapter like the Edimax EW-7317UHG
