Hi,
I have an Acer Aspire 9410, a year ago a hinge froze and cracked the case so I continued just using it as a desktop. Then the screen/monitor died so it was removed and a monitor is connected with a VGA cable to the laptop. Everything is good monitor wise but now I notice my wireless signal is always Low or Very Low when it used to be Good to Excellent, my router is about 25' away. Then I find out there was most likely an antenna in the monitor frame that was removed, hence the signal loss.
Is there any way I can boost my wireless reception?
Thanks!

USB wireless adapter. :|

Walmart.com: Belkin F5D7050 Wireless-G 54Mbps USB Network Adapter: Computers
I have 150's and 300's if you must have faster, but it doesn't really make that much of a difference. -
Thanks! Does it matter if my router is Linksys rather than Belkin, or is it not brand specific?

You can add on new wireless antenna if you want, they are a couple of dollars on ebay.
I would try this first personally before getting a usb adapter -
You can just take out the antenna's from the broken screen frame too. There's usually a pair of them (one wire is white, the other is black).
