Hi.. I have an Asus N750JV with an internal Qualcomm Atheros AR9485WB-EG Wireless Network Adapter which is a 2 in 1 card with bluetooth.. This card is only 2.4ghz and I am wanting to upgrade to Dual Band 2.4/5ghz.. I do not use or need Bluetooth on this laptop. I am wanting to find out if I am able to upgrade this WIFI card by replacing it with a Dual Band Card.. Does anybody know if this is possible and if so what card it is that I need to buy to be able to achieve this.

CPU: Intel Core i7-4700HQ 204GHz
RAM: 16Gb
OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit

I appreciate in advance any help given. Thank you

I swapped mine out for an Intel 7260 without any issues in my Asus N750 without any issue, 5 minute job. I would suggest locktight on the screw when you re-assemble, they have a tendency to randomly fall out after a few weeks!


I'm not sure why you are struggling, where are you located? They are available on amazon
