Not saying that other factors couldn't be at work... But simply
switching from a B router to a G or N router with a G laptop increases
speed from 11 to 54 mbps, almost 5x the speed. On the other hand,
switching from a G to N router with a G laptop won't increase the speed.
Add a USB N adapter to the laptop to see WiFi speed up some more.
That's all assuming a decent signal/connection. Better antenna
performance wouldn't change the basic speed, but could increase the
distance at which it could be reached.

No, it just probably isn't worth any price premium for the specific
question originally at hand.
