Windows 10 Wifi Card

HyperSonic · 23 Sep 2015 at 10:16

I have an ageing laptop (Acer 5920) that i've upgraded to Windows 10.

The wifi seems to be very temperamental & the drivers that are available for it stopped being supported around the time Windows 8.1 was released.

Does anybody know of a Mini PCIe (full height) wifi card that is supported by Windows 10?

Cheers!

I'd go for an intel card with the features you want, eg AC, dual band or even bluetooth4

Do your research though, some of the Centrino cards will only work with centrino laptops etc.

Use SnappyDriverInstaller , it's probably got a newer driver for you to try.

It needs 9gb of space, so run it on an external drive. Very handy tool.

Cheers for the advice.

Have ordered a centrino 2230 with Bluetooth and a half length to full length adapter. As far as i can tell my acer laptop doesn't have any sort of BIOS whitelist, so it should work (fingers crossed)

I'll download snappy too, looks very useful
