Hi,

Hi Praveer,
Yes Intel® Centrino® Ultimate-N 6300 is a dual band card which supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. You can refer to Wireless MINI- Card section in the link below to remove and replace the wireless card in Dell Inspiron 14R N4010.

Dear Ravi,
Thanks for pointing me to right upgrade. The PDF / Manual does not download, It is failling every time I open that link after some time.
I have few questions though:
1. Is this (Intel® Centrino® Ultimate-N 6300) best available upgrade for Dell Inspiron n4010 (14R) Laptop ? I have heard intel 5300 dual channel performing better than 6300 card. Feel free to suggest any other card. It has to be dual band, with great reception, Max throughput at 300Mb/s & 5 GHz. Mode.
2. What is the best place to by such upgrades ( in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India) , clearly Dell does not have them ? Can your engineers replace the cards ( I will prefer that).
Current Issues encountered:
1. The Wifi connection gets dropped suddenly, and the network is missing from the wireless Network Connections list. I have to disable Wifi and enable to connect back. If I refresh the n/w list, the network is shown but we cannot connect to it.
2. This issue occurs every hour, basically after working for some time. Never happened when laptop is just started
Note: I have disabled the Device Power Management from Advance Tab so that Computer cannot disable the device to save power.
Regards,
Praveer.
