Vostro 3560 replacement for Wireless 1703
I would like to replace my Dell Wireless 1703 802.11b/g/n card with a faster card.
my Wlan at home is pretty slow although i`ve got fiver with 1Gb in my house.
can the card be exchanged ?
any suggestions for a newer, faster card to buy ?
are only intel cards usable ?
Thank you for your support!

If you're looking for a Wifi 6 card (most likely) - yes, you can replace the existing card. No, Intel won't be an option -- they make only M.2/NGFF cards in Wifi 6 format, while your system uses the old half-mini PCIe card format. Others do make them though.
You'd need something like this:

Thank you very much again for your help!
my final question can i buy this following card, since your link/the card is kind of sold out:
is this one compatible too with my system?
