    The e2200 is a Lan device that's embedded in the mainboard.

    The WiFi card is a removable mini pci-e card.The present half height card can be swapped with a different mini pci-e half height card like the AC-7260.

    The AC-7260 can be attached to the same 2 antenna wires as the stock card presently uses.

    If the present wireless card is not an Intel the present card's driver and software should be uninstalled before putting in the AC-7260 and installing it's driver and software.

    I've been using a borrowed Netgear Nighthawk R7000 for the last 3 days that has the new 1.0.3.24.0 firmware and paired with my AC-7260

    On 5ghz band the 16.6.0.8 driver is the best.
