Will MBP wifi card work on a M14x?

[Mobius 1]

Hi i ordered a M14x with a 1x2 Intel 1000 and it sucked, teh highest opt was a wimax intel 6500 series card, but it's still a 2x2 and does not support a/b/g/n

Does anybody know any MB/MBP wifi card (airport extreme) can be transplanted to a M14x?

Or some wifi card with the same performance.


Thanks a lot :]

i just checked and the 1000 series card does support a/g/n. you might need drivers or something. check out the dell site.

The 6300 is 3x3, dual band, and a/b/g/n. It's about as high performance as you get. It also picks up twice as many wifi networks in my roommate's HP than my MBP sitting right next to it.

erg sorry here is the correct option from dell

"Intel® Advanced-N WiFi Link 6250 a/g/n 2x2 MIMO Technology with WiMax"

will a 3x3 card fit there?

do i need to route an extra antenna somewhere?

You don't need a 3rd antenna, but you'll loose the benefit of the added range/speed. Just get the 6250 - it's exactly what you need.

Also, some manufacturers lock the BIOS to only certain model cards. I'd try to get a real Dell card, preferably from the M14x.
