I got mine from a computer store and it plugs into one of my USB ports. It came with the software program also. The wireless plug in card I was using on my laptop lacked reach and this made the difference. Do a Goggle search of internet antennas and you will find many at all prices. Take a close look at "Cantenna" which can be used indoors or out. Internet antennas are by nature very small and I'm considering one for the rear peak of my villa which is very out of sight. The ultimate range of internet antennas is very dependant on line of sight and style of antenna. All the antenna manufacturers have gobs of reading for you to study online. Stay in touch and let me know if you make any connections, I'm curious to see how widespread these signals are and their strength.
