    I have Acer Aspire One 110 running windows XP.
    What do I need to setup Wireless N and External antenna for better speed and signal catching for my computer?
    I would like to remove the external antenna if needed or even add bigger antenna to it.
    And how much will it cost together?

    Be aware that changing wi-fi card in your laptop is not going to change transfers/connection speed if available Access Point will be only 802.11g. External antenna will give you better signal quality but it's not going to do miracles as well... To use full N capability your network must be N capable - N routers, roaming etc...

    I have Wireless N router at home, so I believe N capabilty will be useful for me.
    And external antenna for longer distances from home.
