Qualcomm Killer 1525 AC on a GT70 2OC

I dont know if this question has being asked or answered if it has then forgive me for asking again.

I have a GT70 2OC and I was wondering if Qualcomm Killer 1525 AC
is compatable with my laptop. I noticed its an M.2 . So kindly let me know.


Cheers

 

If your GT70 has the Killer double shot of Killer E2200 Lan and Killer 1202 Wireless card then the answer is NO.The wireless card slot in your GT70 is mini pcie
That being said....mini pice to M.2 adapters are available but there's another problem.The antenna wire connectors that fit on the 1202 that are in your GT70 won't fit on the Killer N1525.There's no antennas that I can locate that are for sale with the needed MHF4 connector that is much smaller than the E.FL type that fit on the Killer 1202.
There's also a performance hit using a pcie to M.2 adapter.I tested this in my MSI GT780DX and a desktop

BTW,your posted image of the wireless card is too small for my old eyes.

 

Thanks. So No upgrading for me then.

 

If you use the 5ghz band and have a quality 1750 or 1900 AC router then you can upgrade to a mini pcie Intel AC-7260HMW
I have the AC-7260HMW in my MSI GT780DX and it works well paired with a Netgear R7000 AC router using driver 17.14.0 on 5ghz channel 161
Distance,wall and floor between the notebook and router can greatly affect connections.
On the 2.4ghz band performance can be less than desirable.
