    Hi guys,

    Has anyone attempted to upgrade their wireless card on n56vj laptop? How can I find out which wireless cards are compatible with this model?

    If I recall correctly, that card is replaceable/upgradeable, so you should simply need to find another mini PCI-e WLAN card. Also, I don't think Asus enforces a whitelist of compatible cards in their BIOS - unlike some other manufacturers - which should make it even easier to shop for.

    Thank you. Download speeds for the current card is ridiculously slow

    Would you mind posting what wireless card the n56vj has?

    It should either be an Intel card or Atheros. It will depend on who you purchased from.
