The process is just taking off the bottom cover of the laptop, removing a single screw for the Wi-Fi card and unplugging the connectors for the antenna. Considering that this my first time too, I can vouch that this upgrade is quite simple. If you have never worked on a laptop before you will want to know the difficulty level. In fact, people have very few problems with the Intel 8260, making it a more attractive option.

While MU-MIMO is helpful for homes with many devices connected it is not a clear-cut technology that will matter for most users.įinally, another reason to consider the Intel 8260 is support. To take advantage of MU-MIMO you also need a router that supports it, which most do not.
The Killer 1535 is more expensive at around $40, but isn't as easily found online. Some people have also used a Killer 1535 card that has MU-MIMO (Multiuser multiple input, multiple output). Does it matter? While it is ideal to have a 3x3 system if you are already having issues with the Dell Wireless 1830 it is a moot point.
