Double and triple search for user reports for the target device beforehand
I screwed the card into an HP Pavilion laptop.
At first, the laptop refused to accept it (error 702) because of an unsupported wireless card.
It turns out that many laptops from HP (and some other manufacturers) have a whitelist stored in the BIOS, which naturally does not contain cards "from the future".
With some searching, you can find BIOS hacking tools and many pre-hacked BIOS updates that can remove said whitelist and unlock heaps of hardware settings. However, this is only something for risk-conscious freaks, with something like this you can easily turn a PC into a piece of electronic waste.
Make sure you check first whether your laptop also has such a mess built in.
Also: If the laptop didn't have a 5 GHz card, the built-in antennas are most likely optimised for 2.4 GHz only. In 5 GHz operation, a reduced range is to be expected.
Bluetooth seemed a bit lousy at first, but quickly settled down. Windows probably installed a newer, improved driver.Pro
- Works as advertised
Good value for money
Works perfectly on an old HP Pavilon 6544 desktop as a replacement for the original onboard card which is not very efficient. Windows 10 recognizes it without any problem.
Would buy it again
Great printer, always had a Canon printer.
Pro
- I think it's great that it has individual colour cartridges.
- When scanning, you do not have to place each sheet individually, but it has a multi-sheet feeder.
Contra
- Only one sheet tray left at the bottom of the machine.
Newer Bluetooth with an older mSATA port
This enabled us to use a Fairphone Fairbuds XL Bluetooth headset on an old why! laptop from 2012, which was not possible with a single-band Intel Wireless N135 chipset.
Fast and powerful WLAN for every form factor
Pro
- Small size for installation
- Driver well available
- Connection stable
- high data throughput
Excellent
Card installed in an Acer 7741Z, recognized directly, a good update of the laptop.
Pro
- between 650 mb and 866 mb
Contra
- Nothing
Runs without problems. Now I can also use 5GHz with my old laptop.
The WiFi card works perfectly, but you have to check the compatibility of the Notebook
Upgrade to WLAN 802.11 ac
If an Intel Card is already installed, it works without problems, but you have to download the drivers from the Intel website (it does not work via Windows). An internet connection is necessary for this. Before removing the old card, make sure that a LAN connection is possible.
Changing the WLAN card is blocked in the BIOS of many PC brands. This was not the case with my Dell XPS 702.Pro
- WLAN ac and Bluetooth work perfectly
Contra
- WLAN card change does not work on certain PCs (e.g. HP) because the BIOS blocks this.
Highly recommended
The card was installed in a Toshiba Satellite and was put into operation without any problems, including BT.
Everything is fine. Thank you very much!
Worked immediately after loading the driver.
Have upgraded an Asus X75A.Does what it should
Installed in a Toughbook CF-54 to upgrade Bluetooth.
After taping pin 51, the Bluetooth worked.
After taping pin 20, the wireless also worked.Perfect WLAN card to prepare old notebooks for AC WLANs and Windows 10.
I was able to upgrade my old Dell XPS M1530 (from 2008!!) with it (previously an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG was installed). The antenna connections are compatible and Windows 10 1909 recognises the card without installing any drivers. Thanks to this card, I can now even use my12-year-old notebook with AC WLANs and Windows 10. ATTENTION: For the Dell XPS M1530, an additional extension from half size to full size Mini PCIe card is necessary (Delock 65326).
Pro
- old PCI-E Mini Card connector
- No driver installation necessary under Windows 10
WELCOME AGAIN
Top retrofit, absolutely recommendable.
Super update for old notebooks
Installed it in an old Acer Apire 5750g and it ran immediately without driver installation (Windows 10).
A small hack had to be made with the Bluetooth so that it is not sometimes deactivated by the laptop: Tape off PIN 51.
Super wifi and BT connection, definitely better than before.Pro
- Mega stable wifi connection
- Bluetooth without sacrificing a USB port
Contra
- Bluetooth hack with PIN 51 was necessary
Absolutely recommendable for older laptops that are not yet capable of 5g.
Top. Installed in an older laptop. Very fast transmission when good 5g signal from router.
Leaves nothing to be desired!
I have upgraded my Asus notebook X751L with it. I now have 2.4 and 5 Ghz WLAN and Bluetooth integrated in the notebook. Installation was very easy.
Would buy this network card again at any time.
Installed this network card in a HP laptop and now have the 2.4 and 5Ghz band. I have also equipped the second laptop with it.
Pro
- Highly recommended
In my opinion, this is the most sensible upgrade for a laptop / notebook
An inexpensive way to upgrade a laptop / notebook.
Many manufacturers save on a small but important component in their home devices: the wireless network card.Pro
- 2.4 and 5 GHZ + Bluetooth
- Significantly increases the performance of the wifi compared to most factory-installed cards.
Contra
- Housing must be opened for installation
- Power consumption and possibly heat generation is higher
