7805u fastest Wifi Card? Centrino 6300?

After some reading my impression is a Centrino 6300 (non-Lenovo) with an adapter to "regular" mini PCIE works in the 7805u. But I couldn't determine if it works in the "original" primary slot and with the wireless button etc. Can anyone shed light on that, if it works in the second slot without control functionality I can probably live with it, but the buttons working would be nice. Is there a ballpark similar card that does if it doesn't? I'm getting a N750 router and wanted to upgrade to a reasonably recent card.

 

Here is a much better post.............

Yeah it's going to work fine although to take advantage of N750 router (I hate this naming scheme) you're gonna need a third antenna- otherwise you'll be limited to 300mbps on 5GHz.

 

I picked up the 6300 the other day after further reading, it worked like a charm first try, buttons work etc, and actually im getting slightly over 300 even with just 2 antennas on 5ghz, I ordered a 3rd antenna that I'll stuff in the case somewhere soon. Thanks guys.

 

When you find the 3rd antenna tell us the link and let us take a look at if should some of us want a 3rd antenna as well...

 

I don't have it yet but I picked up a Laird Nanoblade on ebay for about 4 bucks shipped. It has pretty strong 5ghz performance (almost 4db of gain and a very "round" sensitivity pattern) and is very compact (it's basically flat with a short 4" pigtail, I'll just stuff it in the case next to the wifi card compartment). I'll update this with how well it works.

 

It will give you poor performance if it's not routed in the screen. Especially that CPU and RAM cause a lot of noise.

There's a spot next to the Expresscard slots it should fit in which is furthest from the CPU etc, its basically just blank PCB on this machine, being a third antenna I'm not super concerned with it anyways, any speed it adds is a bonus, if I ever decide to do something serious enough to take the whole machine apart again like redo the graphics card thermal paste I'll add one near the screen then. My first laptop actually had both antennas crammed in as I retrofitted it from no wireless to 54G and it worked pretty darn well.
