WWAN Broadband card for Dell studio 1737
Studio 1737
Hello, I recently found out that the Delll studio 1737 has a sim card for broadband internet. My laptop didn't come with the WWAN card but found out that the "Dell Wireless 5530 - AT&T" is the one I need for my carrier and this laptop. The thing is, im not sure if this supports 4g/5g. I read that it is a 3g card and as every carrier is getting rid of 3g, Im affraid it may not work. I am planning to calll Dell but they are closed for today. If someone may have an awnser I might just not call them. Any help will be great. Thanks.

UPDATE: I called Dell and they told me the Dell Wireless 5808 is compatable and supports AT&T (What I need). I looked online for more information about the 5808 and turns out it supports all US and Canadian carriers. Also that 5530 wireless card I mentioned in the question, it works, just won't work with any carrier since its 3g only and basiclly every carrier got rid of 3g, So here is a list of of broadband card that should work with 4G LTE and what carriers they are locked to as of September 19, 2022. I will be getting the 5808 and WILL keep you guys updated if it works.
Dell wireless 5808 - Unlocked to all carriers
Dell Wireless 5804 - Sprint
Dell Wireless 5802 - Verizon
Dell Wireless 5720 - Verizon
Dell Wireless 5720 - Sprint
IF you somehow have 3g LTE with sprint, you can use the dell wireless 5530
