    Should be under the keyboard, you access it the same way to get to the 2 RAM slots under there.

    Open the back cover, push a screwdriver through the hole in the casing/motherboard next to the gpu fan with the screen open and push, this should pop off the cover above the keyboard. Remove the screws and lift up the keyboard gently to remove the data and led cables. You should see the wireless card.

    You can also use a flat head screw driver to pry off the cover above the keyboard. Just wedge it at the top right or left corner and use leverage (pivot it) to lift the cover up. Be careful, as you could scratch the plastic otherwise! And be gentle when lifting the keyboard out so that you don't rip the cables out of the receptacles. The wireless card is also secured with a screw (Philips).

    Thank you very much everyone, just have one more question which wireless card would you recommend for the Sager NP8235 would it be the Intel® Dual Band Wireless-N 7260 802.11ac 2x2 Plus Bluetooth 4.0 or the Killer™ Wireless-N 1202 A/B/G/N with Bluetooth 4.0 and where would be the best place to buy the wireless card. thank you

    The AC cards are nice, especially now that Intel has hashed out issues with previous drivers. Even if you don't have an AC router, I would choose the 7260 over the 1202; think of it as a way of future proofing yourself (it will be nice to have if you upgrade to a AC router in the future).

    Would you happen to know where I could get that card from or do you sell any?

    If you won't be getting an account router and don't need blue tooth the 6300 is a good choice.
