Upgrade internal wireless card

[usernamecv]

Hello everyone,

I would like to upgrade my current internal wireless card on my Envy Dv7-7333cl notebook. I currently have Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 802.11b|g|n| WiFi Adapter. What are my internal hardware options out there I can use to upgrade what I currently have? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @usernamecv

I would recommend Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 WLAN module. However, I suggest you check the specifications of all the wireless cards and replace it with the one which best suits your need.
