    I currently have the Intel 6300 wireless card and am kind of getting sick of not having bluetooth on my laptop.

    The new Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 seems pretty good.

    I see several models on amazon UK and do not know which one would work on my laptop. Can anyone tell me which one is compatible?

    Is the only way to access the wifi card from under the keyboard or is it accessible from the back?

    it looks like the first one should be right. I say this because it is offered by the most vendors. The other options have one or two offers which typically means someone made their own listing on Amazon for it instead of using the one that already existed.

    There are also two versions of the Intel 7260 - one with BT 4.0 and one without. Keep this in mind when ordering. Both are compatible it seems.

    I upgraded my 6235 to the 7260 (with BT) earlier this month without any hitches.

    There is also an AC version and a non AC version (I think the AC is the one with BT4.0).
