I don't want to buy an entirely new $50 router just for the wireless capability. Is it possible to just buy the wireless antenna? If so, where?

Yes you can buy just the antenna, my local Best Buy even has one (they are going to be over priced at places like this). If you can find one on the internet and you might even get a better one so your wireless access is stronger, but make sure you have WPA encryption or else your sending that nice open wirelss access to eveyone around your house.

I had this problem couple of times in couple of different places. * Once a strange virus cause the problem and I had to reinstall the OS in couple of computers to fix the problem. * Secondly had a issue with the Internet Service provider ( You already checked that ) * Third time changing the router fix the issue. I went for the Linksys Wireless router as Dlink keep on dropping the connection ( So you checked that as well ) Leave with the virus problem for you. Easiest way to identify is to isolate each computer and see whether internet is dropping. Is it happening when Computer 1 or 2 is on or when both are on. Do the same with the PS3 as well. Only you have to work with 4 devices and in my case I had to check with more than 20 computer.

I have never heard of someone losing a router antenna, but you could take it to a repair shop or a radio shack.

See if you can buy a broken one of the same brand on e-bay. Then you can take the antenna.

You could browse around or check out Radio Shack or Fry's.

wireless isnt really the best way to go becuase if its not secure people can hack into it and steal your files... but circut city would be the best place to buy one
