WLAN Card Compatability

[MoeruPhoenix]

 I need a replacement WLAN card. I decided that it would be wise to get the best available WLAN card for my pc, but I have no clue as to which card is and is not compatible with my pc, so I am asking for a spec sheet that will give me all the cards that my board supports or the best recommendations for faster wireless internet.

Hi:

The product specs for your notebook indicate that you already have the best wifi adapter that was available at the time -- 2x2 802.11ac WLAN and Bluetooth...the Intel 7265.

That card has a maximum throughput of 867 MBPS on the 5.0 GHz wifi band with an AC router.

Do you pay for download speeds greater than that?  If not, then there really is no point other than getting the same card with the same part number I posted in the parts list for your notebook above.

Unfortunately, we have no idea what wifi card will work in your model other than the ones listed in chapter 3 of the service manual for your notebook's model series.   I find it interesting that the wifi card your notebook has isn't even listed in the manual.

If you want to experiment, then there is only one card that might work, and has a faster throughput than the 7265, and that is the Intel 9260, nonVPro wifi adapter.
