    Hi all,

    I have an Acer Aspire One 722-BZ897. This is the model that AT&T carries that has built in 4G. It has a Huawei EM820W WWAN card for the 4G.

    I was wondering if anyone out there has tried to upgrade the WWAN card to a 4G LTE card like the SIERRA Wireless AirPrime MC7700 card. These got for relatively cheap on ebay. I found out this module is supported by AT&T but just not sure if the netbook can handle it.

    Main difference I see is that the EM820W has only two connectors on the top for what I assume is the antenna connections. The SIERRA Wireless AirPrime MC7700 has 3.

    Anyone have any ideas on this? I'd rather have the LTE connectivity on this netbook and the HSPA+ 4G is rather pokey.
