    I'm looking to upgrade the wireless card on a np900x1b . I currently have a 802.11n apple router, so i think I'll be okay with a 802.11n wireless card. Am I correct in thinking that these laptop work with any mini pci-e wlan cards? I would prefer to stick with Broadcom since that;s what it's using currently.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Hello there. I suggest to get the Broadcom BCM943228HMB

    https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Broadcom_BCM943228HMB

    It's dual band Wireless-N with Bluetooth 4.0

    Just make sure not to buy OEM specific ones since they alter the firmware of the WiFi chip to only work with their respective laptops.
