It isn't you can also use two connections, or buy the Intel Centrino 6235. I assume you want 5GHz next to the 2,4GHz?

I have a Broadcom dual band card with Bluetooth installed on my Y500.

Yeah, I want dual band. I frequently move large amounts of data to/from a desktop and I want max throughput. I have no need for Bluetooth, so the lack of it on the 6300 isn't a problem. I'm just not sure if I'm up to the task of installing a third antenna inside the display and whether it's worth the trouble.

I'm interested in using an Intel 525 msata ssd as a primary drive. I found information on upgrading the cache drive, but nothing on replacing it with a large msata ssd and using it as the primary system drive. I assume the msata drive is treated as a standard drive that can booted to, right? Thanks.

Hello, I'm lightrefracted. I just bought a lenovo y500 and I found this forum while searching for an unlocked bios so I can upgrade the WiFi adapter. Everyone has been helpful and I look forward to contributing.

No, but it should work because the Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 is a commonly used card. If you want to use 3 instead of 2 connections you should buy an extra antenna.

Thanks. I didn't realize replacing the adapter was going to be such an involved task.

I had planned on using the YouTube disassembly video as a guide. Thank you for letting us know about the layout differences.

Has anyone tried using the Intel Ultimate N 633ANHMW with the Y500?
