    I got this terrible combo in Vostro 3750. It drops BT mouse every couple of hours with no possible reconnecting until reboot. Yes, tried switches and newest Intel software installed.

    Also, N speeds are terrible and it occasionally drops/freezes connection.

    I guess there is no point to RMA it because I'll got same crap again.

    What are my chances of changing to something else?

    Intel 6230? I've heard it's same crap but only dual-band crap.

    What about this:
    Broadcom BCM943225HMB Wifi N Bluetooth mini PCI-e Card | eBay

    Is it actually compatible?

    Thank you.

    I have a 6230 and I find it to be very good actually. I have had zero issues with it. I would strongly reccomend it.
