Can I install an Intel Centrino N6300 wireless wifi card in an Inspiron 15R
I own an Inspiron 15R (N5110) that came with an Intel Centrino Wireless N1030 mini card which has 2 antenna connections. I need to use the 5GHZ band for WIFI. Would I be able to install an Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 mini card in my computer? Where would I be able to get the third antenna wire? Would Dell have the drivers that I would need, or would I have to get them directly from Intel?
Thanks in advance.

You would be better off using a USB adapter - the third antenna wire won't be available as a separate part, and making one to work won't be easy.

I've seen Tyco antenna wires available at Amazon (www.amazon.com/.../ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top).
I assume that I would have to run behind the screen. Would this be a difficult thing to do?
