NB 550D - Intel n-6230 WLan upgrade question
Posted: 14-May-2012 11:17

Hey all,

I have a Toshiba NB 550D that i have upgraded the hard drive to an agility SSD, the memory to 4gb and installed windows 7 32 bit and I would like to install a new mini wireless card.

However, i am uncertain if the bios will accept this.
The card i would like to install is a Intel n-6230. However, can't establish it would be ok.

Does anyone have any idea if the device would accept this?
All help much appreciated. Link below

I think this is a point where nobody could be able to provide an 100% right answer…
Since there are no inforamtions what devices would be supported and recognized by BIOS, we can just assume about the compatibility…

Found more details here:
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/centrino/centrino-advanced-n-6230-brief.html

As far as I know the NB550D series was equipped with different Wlan cards
􀂄 Atheros 802.11(b/g)13ch-HB95 MOW-HMC
􀂄 Atheros 802.11(a/g/n)13ch-HB116 MOW-HMC
􀂄 Realtek 802.11(b/g/n)13ch-RTL8188CE MOW-HMC
􀂄 Atheros 802.11(b/g/n)WB195-HMC w/ BT V3.0+HS
􀂄 Atheros 802.11(b/g)WB195-HMC w/ BT V3.0+HS

So these Wlan card would be compatible for sure...
The Intel N-6230 is an mini PCI-E Wlan card and the notebook supports the PCI-E slot so theoretically it should functions.

Theoretically it should work, but the only way is to try. If you know a computer store in you country that sells wlan cards you could go and try.

p.s. It's not very relevant, but i put an intel n-6300 in my 5 year old laptop Satellite A100-847 and it works.
