Hun, this wouldn't help your laptop, this is for a desktop computer and you would have to have internet (router), this just enables a desktop to go wireless!! Sorry, wish it could help you!!
Very good question Jahkeem, one I am glad you asked!! The package contents are as follows: Wireless-G PCI Adapter Detachable Antenna Setup Wizard CD-Rom with user guide Quick Installation Guide
In response to your question, I opened the box to see if the antenna was inside of the box, I found that neither the antenna or the CD-ROM were inside the box. I have located the CD-ROM and returned it to the box and will be looking for the antenna tomorrow (I have a pretty good idea where it is)
I will keep everyone informed as to when/if I find the antenna ;o)
Thanks again Jahkeem, I am glad you asked me about the antenna!!
*****PLEASE READ**** I have officially tore my house up and can not find the antenna, so please do not bid on this unless you are fine with the antenna missing!! Thank you
I honestly cannot give you an answer, as I am no expert. I would assume the antenna is basically for the distance between your router and computer. However, I am still searching for the antenna and if anyone else would be able to answer Amasteller's question more accurately, I would appreciate some input ;o)
Here is the link to my photobucket account where you can see the antenna attached to the adapter: http://s118.photobucket.com/albums/o120/tswieberg/Listia/
