I thought a WI-Fi adapter was an antenna. What does your Wi-Fi adapter do? And where do you get one?

And the cheapest ones you could get are probably from your nearest electronics store because you don't need to pay for shipping :D

Its an adapter and antenna all in one package. I've gotten some nice antennas from dealextreme.com but you can almost make simple dipoles from short pieces of copper wire.

On the ones I've hacked you have to remove a tiny surface mount jumper/capacitor to disable the internal antenna also.
