    Can anyone recommend a good 802.11ac wireless card that's compatible with the 2013 Razer Blade 14?

    The Intel 7260 is probably your best bet - or you can try the latest Killer card, if you wanna stick with that.

    Thanks for the info. I didn't realize there was a newer Killer... What is the model number?

    (I thought Qualcomm was killing off the Killer brand??? When I look for drivers, etc.... I can't locate them. I thought Qualcomm might have deleted those pages...)

    I'm thinking seriously about the Intel 7260.HMWWB.R, but I saw several Broadcom cards that looked like they might also work.

    Can you explain "whitelist" in more detail?

    Also, how long is the warranty? 1 Year? I have a 2013 Blade. I think it's been out of warranty for a while now.

    Whitelist is a list of supported cards, if you plug in an unsupported card, machine won't boot. Blade does not do this.

    Yes, you most likely have no warranty to be concerned about. We have to preface this as people are people.
