    Hi
    I have a Sager NP8130 (or 9130 dont remember, it says P15xEMx) it has a Realtek 802.11n wireless card and want to change it for a one that can get all my wifi (160mb) what would you recommend?

    I saw a bigfoot 1202, but the fastest th bette, I also use network file sharing a lot, dont know if it matters though.

    Greetings and thanks

    I would say either the 1202 or the intel 7260 AC (Mini PCI-E version NOT m.2 version)

    Is this the intel you said?
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Wirel...053836?hash=item2c7259e08c:g:7IIAAOSwv0tVD-1J

    or this one
    http://www.amazon.com/Bplus-7260-HM...efinements=p_n_shipping_option-bin:3242350011

    The price for me (with shipping and everything) is a third than the 1202, and read that this is equal or better than the 1202.

    Do you know if there are fakes of this ones?, because I live in Chile and almost always theres no shipping here from amazon or others and ebay is really convinient.

    Thanks for the answer

    That looks like the right version but I have no way of telling if they are selling fakes, there are a few out there for the intel cards.

    thanks for the replies, I bought the one from amazon, hoping that if theres any problem I may get better assistance, the price wasnt that much higher.

    Yeah, that looks like the right Intel card as far as I can tell. That is what I have in my personal computer right now, and have had almost zero issues with it for a year or two (somewhere in there).
