Default Wireless card antenna extension?

Hey i have been using a Linksys 2.4ghz 802.11g card works fine apart from i do not get a very good signal.I was wondering if it would be worth getting a larger antenna or a cable to extend my antenna.

But if i do either of these i don't know if there are sizes or are they all the same?

and finally if i got a 4-5m cable would it affect the speed of my Internet even if i got a perfect signal?

thanks guys

You have told us what network card you have. What wireless router are you using?

if i got a 4-5m cable would it affect the speed of my Internet even if i got a perfect signal
Ethernet cable..from your PC to the router? Should be fine...you wouldn't notice any slow down.

i don't mean an Ethernet cable (which i cant have) i mean havening a longer antenna by basically using an extension cable so i can move it around my room to find the best reception.
