1525 wireless card

Question

I recently changed ISP providers and upgraded to higher download speeds (30mbs), but my computer is still lagging behind (15mbs). I wonder, and asking this community, if changing out my current wireless card, stock model Dell Wireless1395, would make any difference? The current card supports b and g wireless. Is there a better card that I can upgrade to? And please... no recommendations to upgrade my laptop ;) Mine works fine otherwise. Thanks in advance!

Hi stompyd,

I would like to inform you that we have Intel 4965 mini card available for this system which supports 802.11 (a/g/n) mode for Inspiron 1525.

You can contact out expired warranty service for the same and they can inform you about the cost of replacing the same. You can contact them at the below link:

Hi stompyd,

Welcome to the community.

I would like to inform you that in order to connect wirelessly at N mode you should have a compatible card and N mode router as well.

Please check and confirm you have N mode router then only you should consider upgrading the wireless card to connect at better speed.

If you have any further queries please feel free to contact us.

Thanks and Regards

Ok, let me restate my question;

I have an Arris MTA cable modem and wireless router. It supports N mode. Currently the wireless card is the 1395 model and only connects with 802.11b/g, and I would like to upgrade to use 802.11n to increase my download speeds.

Is there a recommended wireless card for a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop?
