    Hi, im using a y50-70 and i totally love it. However i got unlucky and recieved it with a wifi card N single band only.

    Im looking to upgrade this wifi to a AC version. Ive heard from other threads in here that i should get a Intel AC 7260 with a specific FRU number of "20200552".

    I can get a hold of the wifi card but not with that FRU number here in sweden. Was hoping on some help from the users here if anyone has upgraded there wifis or knows if Lenovo has locked the hardware someway so that i absolutely need the specific FRY number. Or if there are an alternative AC cards i can get and install into my laptop.

    Also looking for tips and tricks on howtos for changing the wifi :)

    Please help me!
