what WiFi card is in the Sony SE

Can some one check their Sony SE and tell me what model wifi adapter it has? I know its an intel but the sony driver page shows that the driver applies to multiple model numbers.

(right click my computer, click manage, then go to device manager and it'll be under Network Adapters)

I have a CTO coming in a few weeks ordered from the US site but would like to order a new router. I'm trying to figure out if the SE supports wireless N on the 5ghz channel. I have a 2 year old CW series that doesn't support it right now with out a usb adapter.


Thanks!

 

If it is an Intel WiFi card, there is just one driver that you need to install. Download the WiFi drivers directly from Intel (the Sony drivers are not the recent ones): http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Det...64-bit)*&DownloadType= Software Applications

Install it and tell us as what your card appears in the device manager.

 

This is actually the driver page I was referring to

Sony eSupport - VPCSE190X - Software & Drivers

I don't have the laptop yet. I'm trying to plan out my networking needs before it gets here. Per the driver page for the SE on the sony site it could either be the Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6230 or the Intel Centrino Wireless-N 6150. That's why I question it because one supports the 5ghz channel while the other one doesn't.

 

I think I finally found it. Newegg seems to be the only place that lists the card details on the pre built configuration they sell.

Yup this model supports 802.11n @ 2.4+5GHz.
