    go to you tube and put in m17x tear down will show you. its under the hand rest easy to get to. Pull batt: take out 2 screws then the 4 under the palm rest and pull back, wifi on the left side. The n6300 takes 3 wires there are already 2 on the dell wifi card use the gray that is in the holder to the side..good luck. :cool:
