Upgrading Wireless card on Dell 17 XPS L702X

Hi,

So I want to upgrade my wifi card on the dell 17 xps l702x because this one is the - Intel Centrino 1000 Wireless WiFi 802.11 b/g/n Single-Band.

I found a video where the guy explains how to take out the wifi card and where is it located. Here is the video - https://youtu.be/w51IN65Bgko

He also linked a store where you can buy better Half-Height mPCI wifi cards. I'm interested on this one: https://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=item&id=9865

My question is:

1. Is it worth spending $29.95 + $5.00 shipping to Croatia? - https://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=item&id=9865

2. Is there any other Half-Height mPCI wifi card that is better or that you should recommend?

3. Found the exact wifi card on Amazon and it's $12.99 + $4.49 shipping I don't have a Amazon account but can you look up for me and determine if they are really shipping to Croatia and what would be the cost. - https://www.amazon.com/MW04C-Wireless-Half-Height-Mini-PCI-Express/dp/B00UX351AS

4. Should I look up on ebay Half-Height mPCI wifi cards even if they don't have the guarantee to work on my dell laptop, but are cheaper?

 

Any feedback or information would be great! 

 

Edit: My local stores and in the whole country don't have half-height mPCI wifi cards so dont even bother looking in my country.

eBay is the best for WiFi cards. Get an Intel 7260, it's probably the best WiFi card on the market for cheap. 

idk
