    Hello everyone,

    I have an Asus G53JW since quite some time now and i want to replace the WiFi card with one that has Bluetooth (the laptop does not have Bluetooth at all). I was thinking something along the lines of an Intel Wireless-N 7260 but i was not sure if it's compatible with the laptop.

    Please help me with the answers to the following questions:
    • is the Wireless-N 7260 compatible with Asus G53JW?
    • if not, what other WiFi cards with Bluetooth can i consider?

    Any mini pci-e device should be fine.

    Update: i have bought an Intel Wireless-N 7260 and it worked like a charm after installing the drivers from Intel's site.
