Will this work on a Dell Inspiron 15 3521 with Windows 8.1? My current wifi card sucks :(

Both of those should work. Just be careful because they both have Bluetooth built in and if you already have Bluetooth in the laptop you'll have to disable either the onboard Bluetooth or the Bluetooth in the card to prevent any potential interference.

Yes, It should work on yours. That model inspiron takes this size card. I doubt it'd be any faster than what you have built in though based on the age of that model of laptop. I chose this card for Linux compatibility. If you want one that's faster and you don't care about Linux I'd personally try and find one that's this size but is 802.11AC. This card is only an N.

Yes it is. I hope your Inspiron has a USB3 port. If not, it'll still work, it'll just be slower.

I would expect to be able to make it work, but since I don't have Windows 8 I don't really know. The information that comes with the unit is very poor. I used the driver which came with a different which used the same chip. I suggest doing a Google search on the chip to see if any better info is available.

Yes, we are running Windows 8.1 and I haven't had any issues. Granted, I use the wifi portion, but it works fine.

it does, but be aware that if you update from windows 8 to 8.1 you will have to replace the wifi adapter. As the one that was built into does not support windows 8.1 and there are no drivers as of 11-12-14 that fix the problem.

answer to this question is very simple its the same as a desktop computer. if the card is the same type as your slot in your laptop and the card will physically fit in the space provided for the wifi card then yes it will work. Its just a PCI card fitting into a PCI slot, very simple.

It should. Usually, models that are in the same series, i.e. 1710, 1720, 1730, etc., are differentiated only by the store or retailer that stocks them. So Best Buy might have the 1710, Wal-Mart/Target, 1720, etc. Regardless though, laptop wifi adapters are almost always the same. I would look at your card and compare it to this one. I replaced the Intel card in my MSI laptop with this one and it worked perfectly, even better for connections as my last one dropped wifi every now and then.

Unit doesn't have anything to do with what operating system you use--it simply "amplifies" your wi-fi signal. So, yes, it will work in windows 8.

I can not answer to this specific laptop, if the existing WiFi card uses the standard Half Size Mini PCIe AND there are two antennas (one for wifi, one for bluetooth), it most likely will work. Check your system's specs for the details.

Laptops and their manufacturers are quite picky about which cards are authorized for their machines. In fact I had to return this one, even though it was the exact same model that came originally with the machine. The BIOS rejected it. I couldn't believe it either. So I would rely only on the manufacturer to know whether it will work with your machine. Reason for attempted replacement was intermittent performance. In this case I think you get what you pay for. As a rule I really like Intel, but this is one of their low-end items. To solve the compatibility issue I ended up going with the Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Adapter (AE3000). Considerably more expensive at $50 - and there's an important note in the reviews about how to install software with Windows 8 - but once the drivers were installed the performance was rock solid and very fast. Just one person's view. Hope this helps.

Hi, the better question will be does a switch that support 802.1q will work on this card? Documentation from Intel states yes for windows. I am using these card on a Dell OptiPlex 760 running Standalone VMware 5.5. Hope this helps.

yes, I recently went to Win8 and it works much better than the built-in wifi. click on the network icon in the lower right and you should see both wifi adaptors if you have 2.

Hello: "The answer to your question is yes, I replaced two of the 1395 mini card's in my Dell 1525's when, I found out by doing some research, and they work extremely well in my network. To get the most after the installation I updated driver's for free I went to c-Net and downloaded a free driver software called SlimDrivers and that way I can keep all my drivers up to date, and the Intel 4965 AGN Next generation Wireless definitely improved the speed and response time no doubt in my laptop's no doubt." It was well worth the money invested."Work's well with Intel CPU Chip's."

Worked as intended on e1705. Look on dell web parts list for your model to see if the e1705 and your model carried the original wifi card.
