    Hello,

    Which card do I need for an Inspiron E1705 so I can upgrade from my current 1390 "G" card WLAN to a gigabit "N".

    I was looking at the Intel 5300, but I read here that it is not compatible with my E1705.

    Which card have others used with success?

    Thanks for the help.

    -Jim

    The Intel 3945 and the 4965 will be direct drop in replacement cards for the E1705.
    The E1705 uses full length mini pcie cards, so if you can find a Intel 5100 or 5300 you should be able to use it.
    Half length cards will not work unless you find a way to secure the wireless card.
