Internal WiFi card replacement

[Qrzysio]

I use Clevo W650SF. BIOS show MS series as W65_67SF. Inside there is Intel Wireless-N 135 WiFi card. I would like to change it to a different one with 5 GHz frequency. I thought of Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 9260 with Bluetooth 5.0 and I wonder if it will work with my laptop. Or maybe you can suggest something else?

The manual says inside my laptop should be Intel Wireless-N 7260, but for some reason, it is Intel Wireless-N 135.

The actual wireless card fitted to your laptop will be listed in the original spec. The N135 was a pretty standard card in many Clevo laptops, my old Optimus IV has one.

AFAIK the 9260 will physically fit, but I don't know whether you'd get 5GHz (or 802.11ac) from it with the antennas built in to the chassis. I'd strongly advise phoning PCS to double check before buying.

Thank you. I've got the reply from PCS:

Unfortunately, the Intel AC 9260 card would not be compatible with your laptop.

The Wi-Fi connection doesn't work properly on my Windows 10. I have recently updated it and it is showing Windows 10 Preparing Automatic Repair Error[/URL. Is it my laptop problem?
