    Hey everyone, I did some searching and I got what I thought would be an upgrade for my 2.4g card but it didn't work. I got a intel centrino 6250 but I couldn't get it to work with my aspire. So, I'm hoping someone on here might know of a wireless N upgrade that will work with my Aspire 5551.

    Thanks!

    Any card that is not meant for Lenovo or possibly HP will work.
    You must have bought a 6250 meant for Lenovo on your first try.
