Can i replace the WLan card on my Satellite Pro P750
Posted: 17-Nov-2011 05:51

I purchased my P750 to run wirelessly on our 5GHz (802.11a/n) frequency network.

Though I was informed it would work it does not. It appears that my hardware does not work on the "a" band.

My question is can the card be reaplaced or is it built into the board. If it is in built can an extermal wireless card be purchased to do the job?

Just in case you asked I have read the forums updated the drivers and enabled the "n" on the AdHoc advanced profile for my Atheros AR9002WB-1NG

Hi

The Wlan card is connected to the miniPCI port on the motherboard and it’s possible to remove/disconnect the card.

But there could be still an compatibility issues between new device (Wlan chip) and the BIOS.
I read here in the forum that someone has replaced the Wlan card and finally the notebook didn’t boot up due to the compatibility problems between the Wlan and BIOS.

So in your case I recommend using an external Wlan solution.
The WLan stick is easy in use and should be compatible with most systems.

I would definietly try it. As far as I can say, you need a Wifi-card with BT, like the Intel 6230. Does anyone know how to disassemble the laptop in order to reach the Wifi-card?

Hi

In most cases the Wlan module is places under the keyboard, so you need to remove keyboard firstly… but would recommend to be careful with that…
