    My card is Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter.

    How can i replace it to one with N support? I am stuck on 54.0 mbps.

    Any help please?

    Looks like it is a m-pcie adapter, in this canse, you cna simply replace with a m-pcie adapter. That adapter is full height though, so you'll either have to go with a full height adapter like an Intel 4965 agn or a half-height adapter like the intel 6200 with a bracket.

    See this post for a pic of what i mean by half-height adapter + bracket: http://forum.notebookreview.com/8233846-post14.html
