Have you ever seen wireless networking work? If so, I guess the antennas work.

Now, if you have a specific requirement, perhaps you can post a more coherent request and tell us exactly what you need to know.

Well, most laptops don't have provisions for any extra antenna, you're stuck with the internal one, which is normally in the LCD assembly along the sides.

If you have a 3rd party wireless card or USB adapter, some of them offer external antenna support. An external antenna has the potential of greatly increasing the range if that's what you're asking.
