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.

Provding it has the same fittings shouldnt be an issue and same dimensions shouldnt be an issue. Although have you considered a USB Wifi dongle? Far simpler to fit
Thanks for your response, cwstad2.
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?

Before swapping it out see if simply adjusting the power settings on the WLAN card makes a difference to its speed.
1) Open Device Manager
2) Expand the entry for Network Adapters
3) Right-click "Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-N 7260" then click Properties
4) Click the Advanced tab in the Device properties window. Scroll down to "U-APSD support" in the list on the left, click to select and change its status to disabled
5) Click OK save the settings
See if you get any change in the card's performance.
