There was some discussion recently about a wifi card for laptop.
I seem to get only minimal signal using my laptop (built in) card.
I would like to install a removable card, with rangebooster, and an
external antenna (that I can put outside temporarily).
I called staples on the island, and they have no clue what I am
talking about.
Any suggestions here?
thanks!!

Try it, you'll like it.

hmmm.. why would this not work for "land yachts"?
It works great for a land yacht. Just drive your car or van into a
neighborhood and hit the "scan" button on the software and you'll find a
bunch of unsecured wi-fi access points from people who don't secure
their home networks.
The antenna was originally called the RV wi-fi antenna and they changed
a few things and made it more waterproof and call in the RV/Wave
antenna. If you've got USB ports on your computer you're in business.
I'm sitting on my sailboat anchored about a half mile from an access
point and that's how this post got here.
