    Hi All,

    I just purchased a studio 15 with no wireless card (it's refurbished).

    Can you guys please tell me what my options are?

    Thanks,

    You should be able to go to eBay and get a 5300/6200/6300. You should be able to just snap them in and you are good. If you are lucky you will have antanea leads ... just hook those up and you are good.

    Thank you for the response. I'm not very familiar with wireless card. What is a 5300/6200/6300 and what are antenaleads. How do I install this?

    Yeah but your paying way to much. Buy this and have the best available for pretty much the same money.
