Nope, just the one antenna. I went and moved it as closer to my room as I could lol...

Now I have three bars, but I would sometimes have three bars before...

Oh, but my computer has two antennas for its wireless connection, do you think that might be the problem? It is brand new though. =(

Are you actually having network trouble? You might very well be trying to locate a problem that isn't there.

Yes.

When downloading things from sites that have direct download I have had it go from 700 kilo to 500, and then slowly dwindle all the way down to 50 bytes. Then it speeds up a again, to about 60 kilo and then slowly dwindles again.

I also have problems with online games which I never used to have problems with. I'm lagging far more often than I normally do.

It is like my connection suddenly drops dramatically, and stays there for a very long time, and then jumps up to about a poor connection, instead of very poor, with tiny bursts of good signal strength.
