Laptop Wifi

[mcraftax]

So I looking in side my laptop and with the ram and the hdd was the wireless module. Easy access and removable, does that mean it could be upgrade from the existing N chip and a new AC chip?

yes, i think most laptops have a removable wifi card that can be upgraded

as long as there are drivers to support it on your OS

Depends on Laptop manufacture. If its a Lenovo notebook then I would say NO. But every manufacturer will be different. Lenovo likes to white list wireless cards in their BIOS. So if you stick a card thats not on the white list in, then the machine wont boot.

Im not sure what Acer's policy is. Hopefully someone who owns an Acer Laptop can shed some light on this.

Do you think this one would be compatible? Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260

 

Edit: Plus will that wireless card work in an Asus X555LA?
