E6520 Wireless Card Compatiblility
Hi,
I have a E6250 and am having issues with the 1501 Broadcom card. Many documented issues with this DW 1501 card, and in Windows 8, it also constantly needs to be disabled/re-enabled or the troubleshooter run to reconnect to the network. I am way done with this card, and have been researching the alternatives. I want something better and something that willwork with this laptop and Windows 8.
Can someone provide a list of compatible WLAN cards that will work with my E6520? Please?
Another question.... when I took off the back cover to identify the card I have, I only remember seeing 2 antenna cables. Reason I say this is that I am looking at the Intel® Centrino® Ultimate-N 6300, but I see three antenna hookups. If I select this card, will it work, and will it need another antenna cable?
Thanks!
Oh, and just an aside - I love this Latitude laptop. Dell, you make one hell of a nice machine!
