XPS 17 Mini card changes

Hello
I have a dell xps 17 with a intel wireless 1000 and i use a t mobile broadband dongle, i wanted to change this to a intel wireless 6300 and a intel wwan 5440 so i can move the broadband inside and get a good wireless.

I didint order it with a tv tuner, or a wwan to begin with.

I emailed dell support asking about this and they said i couldint have a 5540 as the cable would be missing. so i thought i wouldint have the wwan cables and i dont really want to open up the back of the screen to put them in. they recomended a intel 6250 as a single card solution.

I took apart the laptop to take alook at what conections i had inside, i had all 3 calbes for the wireless and the 2 wwan cables, so instead of using the intel 6250 single card solution would i still be able to put a 6300 wireless card in and a intel wwan 5440.

Thank you for your help.

 

think you answered your own question there should be no problem

and the intel 6250 is a wimax card not sure if it will do the wwan your wanting, not sure of your exact specs for the wwan

 

Ok i was wondering as the dell support monkey i talked to made it sound like it needed a cable as well as the anteneia to get the wwan to work.

 

pretty sure the cable is the antenna....someone correct me if i'm wrong but that is normally how they are setup

 

Yeah, either of those setups should work; you shouldn't need any additional cables for the mini cards aside from the antenna.

 

Thank you

Il update this thread in a couple of weeks when i have the funds to buy the cards.
