How to check if a particular internal Wi-Fi card would work for a laptop?
Hello everyone,
The Wi-Fi card that came with the laptop Dell Inspiron 15R (5537) – Intel 7260BGN is extremely slow and I was wondering if I can replace it with the 7260NGW Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11ac, Dual Band, 2x2 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.0 card
It's available on eBay as well.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for your help guys. The Wi-Fi on this laptop is better these days.
I got an external dongle if need be.

Just found out the dimensions appear to be same for all 7260 family cards. But you're right, it's indeed a lot of steps:
Also thought of picking up an USB dongle. You have a favorite brand of USB dongle that you would recommend?
