    I have a broadband SimCard , how to get it works on m14x-r2? Currently I have N 2230 , do I need Boardband Wireless Card to get it works? If so , which? Do I need to sacrifice mSata or Wireless Card slot?

    I dont think wireless broadband/ wimax works on R2. For WiMax, you need a Wimax compatible card that goes in PCI-E slot. As far as i have read, R2 only comes with on mSATA and one PCI-e slot. So you can use either Wimax or Wifi.

    And yes, use the mini PCI-e slot which is used to hold your wifi card. I dont think mSATA will work with wimax card.
