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 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?

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