Which side (front or back) faces the window when using the suction cups?

It's up to you. The Super USB Wi-Fi Antenna is Omni-directional, and so it can receive the signal from any direction.

Can I use a USB extension cable to add on to the existing length on the cable that comes with the USB Wi-Fi Antenna?

No, the Super USB WI-FI Antenna comes with a 15-foot USB cable. 15-feet is the maximum length of a USB cable because of power loss if a longer cable was used.

My computer has an internal Wi-Fi antenna; do I need to disable it before installing the software and the USB Wi-Fi antenna?

Yes. Please consult your computer's user guides for instructions on how to disable the built-in Wi-Fi antenna. (Note: For Windows XP users, to turn off the internal Wi-Fi antenna, left-click on the Wireless Network icon in the system tray and select "Disable." To turn the Wi-Fi antenna back on click on the Start menu, go to My Network Places and then click on "View network connections." Under the "Lan or High Speed Internet" option, right click on your wireless connection and select "Enable.")
