Picture it:
A black, wireless network antenna sticking straight down out of the ceiling. It looks horrible. It would be much less noticable if it could be painted white. But will painting it affect the wireless signal?

If there's anything conductive in the paint, yes (it will affect it - you asked the question both ways). You can try it, but once you paint it, you may not be able to remove the paint. Why is it on the ceiling? You can conceal it behind furniture or cloth and it will still work - anything non-conductive doesn't exist as far as radio signals are concerned. (Just make sure that the box it's connected to still has enough air flow around it to stay cool.)

I have a compaq presario V6000 Laptop and the monitor broke and i opened up the case and there a re a few wires mounted to the back of the monitor and want to know if the wireless antenna for the WLAN was back there before i cut wires to remove the monitor so i can just connect it to an external monitor but still use the mouse and keyboard.

There is no guarantee that the antenna is on the monitor or the case. The only way to know is to call up the makers of your computer. Although I would consider with monitor being the best place for it, considering its the highest place on a notebook.

But as an alternative, you could just hook up another monitor through the connector on your laptop, and just have the computer show things through it, without cutting anything. I say this because cutting the wires on the monitor can open up shorts, and other things, including a house fire.

I want a home network which I want one computer to actually connect to the router and modem, and another computer upstairs to have wireless internet from the router via PCI wireless networking card (with antenna).

I was thinking Linksys WRT54G. Any better ideas? Also, is it worth paying $10-20 more for the WRT54GL or the WRT54GS or do these routers perform just as well as the standard 54G.

I always recommend the WRT54G. Mine has been flawless.

Are the ones with 3 antennas faster?
I think wireless-N is capable of 4 antennas. But I haven't seen any for sale anywhere. Have you?

If more antennas = more speed. Will the future of wireless networking see routers for sale equipped with several dozen antennas transceiving at different frequencies?

More antennae=more simultaneous transfers. That does not necessarily equate to more speed.
I think we'll see a move in the silicon chips before we see an increase of antennae. There comes a point when offering more simultaneous transfers offers a diminished return in results.
I also predict we will see more efficient antennae, of the type that the commercial products use.
