Can I upgrade the Wireless card to Intel 7265 Wifi Card? If so how would I go about doing that? I know how to swap the physical part, but then what d

I don't know. I strongly advise against purchasing this computer. Mine broke right after the warranty was up and Vizio provided zero customer service. Read the negative reviews on Amazon and save yourself the hassle. If you already own it, just screw open the bottom panel to replace any of the components.

I just did a search for: "installing a new wireless card Dell Inspirion 15 M5030" and the first video happens to be a how to on doing a card replacement. A further search for a Dell whitelist didn't turn up anything so I'll say you're good to go.

Turn your laptop upside down, and remove the battery. One of the small doors underneath will be covering the current wireless card. Take that door off and look at the card currently in your laptop. If it's the same size and shape as the new one, and the plug end is on the same side and such, then YES it will work in your laptop, or any laptop with the same configuration with the wireless card. It's the same as plugging a PCI card in a desktop computer; the brand doesn't matter. What matters is will it fit when you plug it in. Just make sure you plug the two small wires in the same way they are with the old one (left and right sides). Then you just need to start your laptop and let Windows find the drivers. If no drivers are found, go to the web site for the card manufacturer and find the drivers there. Obviously, it will be wise to write down what name and numbers are on the card before you put it in (as is shown in the question ad). Being an Intel Wireless card, there's a 90% chance windows will have the drivers you need, or can download them from Windows Update (with a wired connection).

The mini pcie card is required for wifi, and if it was not included I would suggest exchanging the board for one that does. It does use an intel 802.11ac mini pcie card though, so if you did not want to go through the hassle of exchanging you could get one here - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IOS19E6/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1396336869&sr;=8-4π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

Just connect via a wireless connection and download it for free. It was automatically tell you an upgrade is available in the settings.

Your computer does have a spot for this WIFI card, but make sure you have the proper OS for the drivers and you should be fine,Also go here to see if parts can be replaced or fitted. http://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=category&id;=141&subid;=240

Yes, by installing a wireless card. It is not an expensive upgrade. While I was surprised that it didn't come with one, I was glad that I got to install a higher end one without throwing away a perfectly good cheap pre-installed one to have the performance I wanted.

This is easier than you think. It's almost plug and play. Don't worry. What are you trying to achieve and maybe I can guide you with the build.I got the bluetooth and the wifi card from intel and it wakes well.

Dear Roy, It does not look like Microsoft is going to allow this model to update as of their last press release. This of course can change but as of now no is the answer. Thanks, Just Wireless inc.

The included WiFi is pretty crappy. I was getting 3-5mb/s over my network, and poor connectivity in my bedroom, which is usually not a problem.I ordered an Intel 6235 WiFi card for $23 here on Amazon. Windows8 didn't even need drivers. I am getting 50+mb/s and great connectivity on 2.4GHz, and the 6235 has 5GHz too.(Installation is cake. unscrew the bottom, swap the card, screw back up. 5m)

Sorry Marc, Cannot say-have never had an HP. Suggest you check HP website or sites that sell upgrade wifi cards. When you say 'not compatible', do you mean that the card does not physically fit, or that it fits but is not recognized by the laptop? If latter, I would search online for the wifi card model number-you may need to install a new driver. You could also search for 'upgrade from ' + your current wifi card model number to try to find wifi cards that are compatible with your laptop. That should help regardless if your problem is physical fit or the card not being recognized.

All parts of the computer, except maybe the case, are generic parts usually contracted from multiple parts vendors. This is true of any WiFi cards which come in two sizes, half height and full height ( 1" and 2" in size). Most have two connectors for the antenna, but some have three. If you have a router that supports the new "AC" standard, get a card that covers that. All are backward compatable. If your computer does not have Blue Tooth support, you may find a WiFi card the has this support also, but don't get such a card if you already have Blue Tooth on the computer. With your computer shut down and a very small tipped philips screw driver, flip your computer over. Most have the WiFi under the panel where your memory modules are located. But some have it under a separate panel. You have to look to find the card. From where the clips for the antenna to the base where the card plugs in, is the card 1" or 2" in size? There will be one or two philip screws holding the card in place. Some are very tightly screwed down, becareful not to strip the screw heads. Disconnect the antenna wires first remembering the colors and where the clip on. When the card is unscrewed, it will flip up to about 40 degrees. Grip by the sides to remove and insert the new card well into the socket and with one finger hold down the card and put the one or two screws back in, but don't over tighten. Hook up the antenna again, they can be a bit of a problem, so becareful. Replace the panel and start up the computer. Shortly after the OS loads, it will detect the change, find and install appropreate drivers within minutes. Then, no matter what, you must configure your new WiFi to your router and other connection sites. Good luck.

I think that version comes with a wifi card but this one doesnt. I had to buy my own. Gigabyte makes one and i dont think it was that expensive, but if you use a wired connection don't worry about it.

It will NOT take the place of a wireless card. You are correct, it is just to enhance the range of your devices wireless range.
