[dibesh rana]

I watched the review of the dell inspiron 7567 and I wanted to buy it but i want more wifi speed then just 20 mbps so can i upgrade the wifi card. If it's possible then can you recommend me some.

No you need to upgrade your home internet connection through your isp such as Comcast, Etc... A new Laptop will not fix your "Slow WiFi Speeds" You have to up your monthly plan.

Take off the bottom cover and see if the card is removable (it should be). Then just find a card that fits your need in that form factor.

Internet literally has nothing to do with wifi speeds. Unless of course the OP is measuring wifi speed using an internet speedtest. So, @dibesh rana, are you?

My Dell Latitude 6420 is 6 years old and has a 6 year old WiFi card in it thats 10/100/100. It should not be his computer, even if its something from 2007, that would be a 10/100. If he's getting 20Mbps, then he would have to at least have a 10/100 card.

Wifi cards don't operate in the same way that wired connections do, don't classify them as such. An upgraded wifi card can certainly increase the OPs speed, provided they aren't just testing internet speed like I said above.

If this is your Laptop then Upgrade your WiFi speeds through your ISP.

Dell and Lenovo machines are infamous for putting whitelist on their mPCIE and M.2 ports. 

 

Meaning you have to buy their cards to replace or your machine will refuse to boot.

Yeah no its his IP if its this laptop.

WiFi syncs up at the best rate it could get, I have my AC wifi  connected from rate of 100mbps to 300mbps depending on signal so better wifi card so OP's problem could be solved though any wifi these day shouldn't have that much problem

That's wierd. I haven't heard this, at least for lenovo machines. People apparently put m.2 ssds in them all the time.

Crux of problem is: Did OP speedtest on wireless or wired? We need to know that maximum download OP can get from the ISP though wired connection.

You dont have to buy "Their cards". I think it more these are the cards that are known to work. When I upgraded my sisters HP Laptop they just had a list of cards that worked. Went on Amazon and bought the fastest card it supported. She was on Wireless N, now she is on AC.

A lot of things affect WiFi speed. Signal strength being the biggest. If you have poor signal strength then the speeds on WiFi will be slower to keep the link stable. This is one of those times you need to have a good look at your network setup. What kind of Router do you have? What speeds do you sub to? More importantly whats the airwaves look like around you (Use WiFi analyzer on a phone to see this)?
