Broken Wireless intenna

I have a wireless network in my house and the upstairs computer works perfectly fine. It wasnt until my intenna broke off that it had very low to no signal on my connection. I take the card out and put the intenna back on but it keeps falling off. I can still get on the internet but I cant play multi very well. Do I need to get a new card with an intenna that works fine or can I get this one fixed?
 
I'd have to see how it broke to say if you could really fix it... If just the antenna itself broke, that's easy enough to replace. If the jack itself broke, you might have a few problems...
 
Lets see, the grey intenna is fine, its the small round gold thing that came out of the little slot that came out and it isnt supposed to. The wire goes through a hold in the round gold part that stickes into the intenna
 
Yea, i have this problem too. My antenna has fallen off at the gold part. Sticking out of the card is the little metal prong this needs to be pointing straight out, not bent at all for the little gold thing to securely sit in. So once you have bent it back as best you can push the antenna in hard until it will not come out easily. It will not sit in as well as it should and you will probably not get really good reception but that is pretty much all you can do without buying a new card.

*Be careful not to snap the little prong off because once that has happened nothing can fix it.
