    looking to upgrade my wifi card. i had an extra intel centrino wimax 6250 card but after installation received a message that stated the wifi adapter wasn't compatible. I want to put something that supports dual band and at least 300mps, preferably 450 but i don't know which wifi adapters will be supported....

    then it is whitelisted, check manual if there is upgrade available.

    Lenovo intel card may work? but those in manual is more possible. Killer card definitely will not work.

    Last, try look for a whitelist removed bios, then you can throw any atheros card or lenovo intel card in there.
