oldish laptop wireless

Hey peeps, might just be dumb but can I upgrade my wireless card in my laptop ? It's a oldish one Acer aspire 5610z if this helps... It struggles with YouTube videos some times !

Specs say it supports 54mbps connnection via wifi which should be more then fast enough for 720p youtube. The processor or ram may be your bottleneck, when was the last time the laptop had a clean windows install?

Is cpu usage spiking during the hang ups on youtube?

I did not find anything on that model about swapping wifi cards so you will have to open the bottom access panel and look and see if the card is seperate from the rest of the motherboard(pop one screw off and remove pull it out of its socket) and is accessible.
