    Hello to everyone, I'm looking to upgrade my wireless card from the 1397 802.11b/g that it came with. I recently bought a new router so I could connect at faster rates but this wireless card is only 802.11b/g compliant. I contacted Dell and they recommended the 1510 802.11b/g/n MiniCard but after reading the specs, it shows that it can only connect to a max of 54 Mbps. I was hoping for much faster rates. A friend recommended the 5100 MiniCard but I don't see it as being compatible with my Studio 1737. Does anyone know if it will support it? Any suggestions or recommendations are greatly appreciated. I'm on Win 7 64-bit Home Premium.

    Thanks!

    It is against forum rules to cross post.

    We already answered your question in this thread.
