They are sold at Futureshop and you can have them ship it to you.

You can't replace it with something from around the house. A coat hanger might work on a car, but it won't work as a wi-fi antenna.
You didn't say what kind of NIC or router it was. But most of the time it's just as cheap to buy a new NIC. Even if it's more expensive, you'd probably have to order the antenna and wait up to a week for it to arrive. If you buy a new NIC, you can be up and running in a few minutes.

Depends completely on the hardware its attached to. Do you mean the antenna attached to your router?? Or your adapter?? The router is much more likely to have a replaceable antenna than the adapter attached to your machine but both are possible. Check the documentation or the manufacturer web site for your particular situation.

I don't think you will be able to use a coat hanger to fix this... but here's a cheap alternative...
