    Hi guys,

    I want to replace the wireless card in my Toshiba Satellite A665-11Z because the reception and transfer rate are poor, and the fact that its limited to 72Mbps.

    What card could I replace it with? Will it even work with a different card or what? Also, I know that the bluetooth chip is integrated onto the wireless card, I will lose this functionality right?

    Oh and final question, if the wireless reception is poor on my current card? Will getting a new card improve it in the slightest? IIRC, the antennas are on top of the laptop screen...

    Thanks
