    Hope I'm posting this in the right section. I'm trying to get a list of compatible wireless cards for my inspiron 15 3520. I currently have some atheros card in it. Dell Wireless 1703 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHz) so it says on my specs. I tried installing an Advanced-N 6235 card a few weeks ago but I couldn't get a connection. I was wondering if any of you wonderful folks would have any suggestions. Thanks!

    Dell doesn't lock down its BIOS so in theory anything should work... did you make sure to buy a generic or Dell-branded 6235? Can you elaborate on what the issues were with the 6235?
