[X220] Wi-Fi upgrade

[jumoj]

Hi there

I am aware that there is a modded BIOS that allows to operate other PCI Wi-Fi cards.
Are there any recommendations which one to use? AC and MUMIMO would be highly appreciated.

Does the WPEQ-261ACN(BT) work? It offers MUMIMO, something the IT-8260HMW does not, as far as I'm aware.

Or are there any 3x3 cards available? I think it were possible to install one with an additional flexible antenna which could be stored under the palm rest?!

Thank you very much in advance!

For which laptop?

Oh, how could I forget to specify this. xD I am very sorry. The model in question is the x220!

There should be two additional antenna wires available if you're not using the WWAN card.

Intel's AC-7260 (7260HMW) works great for me. If you go for it just make sure you don't accidentally end up with a 7260HMWAN, which is a low-spec variant w/o AC. Or are you looking for something better than the 7260? There are M.2 adapters, which would allow using all the newer Wi-Fi cards, although I'm not sure if an adapter would fit in the limited space available. And you'd have to change the antenna wires too as they use a different connector.

Thank you for your reply!

I hoped there would be something better than the 7260 or the 8260, maybe even something with AC-1300 speeds or higher.

Any recommendations are highly appreciated
