    Hi there,

    I have an Alienware M17x R4 using the Intel 6300 802.11n card. I'd like to upgrade this card to an 802.11ac card and wanted to know what options are available and what people recommend. Any help is much appreciated!

    :thumbsup:

    I have the Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 7260 in my R3 and it's working great.

    That's the only one I've seen on that machine. Not many success stories out there about this config.
