Varron 10 Posted May 3, 2014 After living with terrible network connections, I've finally wised up and found out that it's indeed my network card that's causing the problem. I have the stock card that came with the model, and after a thorough in-depth 5 minute research into it, I've found out that it's quite possibly the worst card to ever exist.So my question to these wise forums is, what's a good, cost-effective replacement for the Y580? I'm planning on unlocking my BIOS when I reach my 5 posts here, because the warranty has long since expired anyways. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
asas 10 Posted July 12, 2014 I believe the Intel 7260HMW is the most popular 802.11ac choice, but you probably already figured that out...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106190 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tech Inferno Fan 20 Posted July 12, 2014 An alternative to the 7260HMW is the Broadcom BCM4352. This is what Apple uses in their notebooks.Azurewave AW-CE123H / 802.11ac/n/b/g + Bluetooth 4.0 / Half-Size PCI-Express MiniCard (Broadcom BCM4352 & BCM20702) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
