I have an ASUS S96J laptop with the internal IWP 3965ABG. I just bought a connecter that I can my connect an external antenna to my internal card. Now the problem is I would have to uplug my internal antenna to get it working, but I don't want to have to use an external antenna all the time because I enjoy the mobility of my laptop. So, I was wondering if there would be a way to get a splitter so that I could have the internal one working all the time, and when I needed a better signal I could just hookup the external antenna.

No you cannot.
Antennas amplify signal. If you connect two antennas to a device, unless that device and antennas were specifically made to be connected to the device at the same time, the least you could do is not get ANY signal. You *could* also burn your device.

this is a good read:
