Killer Wireless-N 1103 upgrade ?

[Cthulhus]

Hello,

UI just got my alienware and now, the wifi is a bit slow and I would like to add a Killer Wireless-N 1103... It's possible ? and how ? Is hard to do ?

Thanks !

you'd have to buy it either as a spare part from Dell or find it on Ebay or Amazon or somewhere. Installing it is pretty easy, its a plug-in Mini-PCI card.
Need to download the software drivers as well.


I'm still looking for a combo Mini-PCI card with both WiFi and GOBI 2000 for worldwide WWAN connectivity..

Thanks !

Ive contacted Dell to know if they can sell and ship it for me. On eBay and Amazon, the price is about 60$ ! and you can have it with a new PC on dell webstore for 15/20bucks ... so, hope that Dell will be able to sell it separately...
