Laptop WiFi upgrade? Presario r3000

My Wifi isnt all that great, as it is distance challenged past 20 feet. I use a Linksys WRT54G, and have gone through all 11 channels, and use WAP2 security.
The laptop is a Compaq Presario that still works, like and old car, with WXP Pro and has 802.11 b/g 2.4 GHz.
Can I upgrade this internally to something that can get better range?
