Nice easy question to anyone that has done this.
Can I upgrade to ac wireless?
If so can anyone tell me the IBM/Lenovo part number as I can't find one yet.
When searching all I find is the support drives page on Lenovo's website.

Have a look here: http://wikidevi.com/wiki/List_of_802.11ac_Hardware
Scroll down to Adapters.
Lenovo does not have an 802.11ac card for the T510.
You will need a modded BIOS (non-Lenovo) with Lenovo's approved wifi card "whitelist" removed:

It may perhaps not be the latest BIOS, but it will work with any wifi card.

Hi, I never did add a ac wireless to my T510 as I could not find the patched bios, the download links on the other site was dead.
But I now see that Lenovo list a ac wireless card, https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Lite-On_WCBN606BH_(Lenovo) Has anyone tried this in a T510?

Hi people
I guess no replay means a no, I have ordered the Intel 7260 for ThinkPad S440 S540 or ThinkCentre E73z M73z E93z
When it arrives I will tell you what happens when I fit it, If I have trouble can someone point me in the right direction for a white list bios hack, I have found two but both links are kind of dead

Card Info :
Wireless Card Intel 7260 AC 876M +4.0 bluetooth
Model:7260ac
FRU:04W3814

Come on!
You had your chance in January 2014, when the link was still OK.
If it takes you THAT long to react, we can't help you...

I'm not going to [censored], SO ...

I added the Intel AC card but the machine would not pass the bios, It just keeps telling me that it was not the right card and to remove it.

I have found the bios with the WL removed, and flashed my machine.
The machine now works with the AC card and gives me a connection speed of 866mb, but once I started copying files the speed soon drops, to about 500mb, this was faster then my old N wireless card but I guess there is no beating a good old fashion cable.

The bios is here if anyone else would like a copy, It also has SLI 2.1

One thing I have now noticed is that when I boot my machine I get 5 short beeps, and then another 5 short beeps before the Lenovo logo is shown.

5 beeps is the mobo, probably objecting to an error in that flashed BIOS.
But if everything works OK, learn to live with it.
Or try this version: http://rghost.net/7ynNk75SK

I'm also looking for a BIOS for my T510 with no whitelist.

Details: 4314DDU, BIOS 6MET92WW (1.52) (9/26/2012).

Can anyone help? Thanks!
