    Going AC at my house (MU-MIMO) and I would like to know what you guys think the best current laptop card is?
    3 Dells, all with Mini PCIE, all with 3 antennas available.
    Currently running Intel 6300's and 5300's.

    Thanks!

    @Nickfast nominally the best 802.11ac miniPCIe card would be 3x3 AW-CB160H, but it's expensive, comes with MHF4 antenna connectors like m.2 cards thus you'll have to buy antenna adapters or replace your antennas as well, and I'm not sure how good the drivers are. So I would recommend 2x2 Intel 7260 802.11ac version instead.
