Linus mentioned in the review that the WiFi card in this laptop is pretty garbage so I was wondering what a suitable and compatible replacement would be. I don’t know anything about WiFi cards.

 

I apologize if there is a specific category this should be in but I didn’t think this would go in networking.

So I have just got my zephyrus ga502 and had a ping of 60 a download of 20

And an upload of 6 with the stock wifi card.. 

 

 

Anyways let's get to the point. I had ordered a Intel 9260 with the computer and when it had arrived

 

(REALY IMPORTANT BIT HERE!!! )

 

 

I HAD INSTALLED AND RAN THE DRIVERS       (.https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005634/network-and-io/wireless-networking.html) 

 BEFORE SHUTING DOWN REMOVING THE BACK AND PUTING IN THE WIFI CARD. 

 

I put everything back together and it all ran smoothly 

 

I am now getting ping of 6 and download of 212.16 and an upload of 14.79 if you need to conact me for questions my email is owenwaltersuk@gmail.com
