    Hey

    I just bought this wireless card as my envy 14 came with broadcom card and I wanted to switch.

    This is what I bought:

    Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 MiNi Card 622ANHMW



    I received the card today, but it is so small? I never changed wireless cards in laptop so I am not sure how big it is suppose to be.

    I wanted to ask if it will fit, so I can go on and open my laptop.

    Thanks.

    That looks like the size of a 6200 when I had one for my Envy 15. Should work. Give it a shot.

    To install this do I follow instructions to remove WWAN or WLAN?

    I think its WLAN, please someone confirm.......

    WLAN would be the right one.

    As a note, after you install it, you will likely have to reflash the BIOS in order for it to be recognized.
