    Hi, I have a question about my z63a (I know...its old, but still does the job!). I currently have the Intel 2915ABG card in it. I wanted to know if I could possibly change it for one that has better range? If so, is it easy to change? Also, any reccommendations on a better wireless card?

    Thanks

    Check to see if your current wifi card is a PCI-E card. If it is, you can pick up the Intel 5300 wifi link card for $33-34 on amazon. Make sure it can support the full size and not the smaller half size.

    Hmm it seems to be Mini PCI. Im guessing that is different from the Intel 5300

    Any reccommendations for a Mini PCI wireless card upgrade?
