    Hello,
    A few days ago i noticed that my internet slowed down and i wasnt even able to remain connected with teamspeak server. I tought it's some issue with my internet provider but today i connected my phone with my clevo and i used tethering through usb port and now my internet works well. I tried diferent drivers but it dind't worked, so i found out that can be problem with Realtek RTL8723AE. I always had problem with random auto disconnecting and reconnecting but it wasnt too often so i lived with that. Now i decided to buy new wifi card. My question is will INTEL 7260HMW work with Clevo P150em? If not, can u recomend me some other wifi card?

    I (and many others) have put a 7260 into an older P150HM (and other laptops of same age) without issue

    You need the mPCIe version, and make sure it's a 7260-AC version if you want to take advantage of 802.11ac. Cheaper 7260's only do wifi-N.

    Yes indeed, the newer cards use M.2 slots which will not fit.

    No white listing or anything for the cards so if it fits it should work and 7260AC (mini PCI-E) certainly does.
