You would be better served to buy a new (or used)internal card (very
easy to install). The antennae built into your laptop will always
provide better reception, plus you always run the risk of breaking an
external device sticking out of your machine.
Check ebay or craigslist for an internal wireless card. You should be
able to find an intel 2200 or a Broadcom A/B/G for $20.00.
