Faster WIFI Card for Toshiba L455D Laptop

Looking for a wifi card to replace the ATL8187SE card in my L455D.  My reason for wanting to do this is because the 8187 max. download speed is aroung 20 Mbps and I need a card that can double this speed so I can take advantage of my 50 Mbps provided by my internet provider.
Thanks

Not sure what the issue is that's resulting in a change for you. However, the MBP's wireless reception has always been comparatively poor relative to many other laptops. It's not a Mac issue per se, it's the aluminum casing, which blocks the wireless signal whereas polycarbonate does not. MacBooks (non-Pro) get significantly better reception than MBPs with the same wireless card.
Nevertheless, to answer your question, here's an ExpressCard 802.11n adapter and a cheaper USB 802.11n adapter that will work with your MBP.
Hope this helps...

  • Airport Express as wifi card for Xbox Live, then connect to Extreme network

    My son just got xbox Live and we're trying to use Airport Express as wifi card for xbox (connected to xbox via ethernet). We use Airport Extreme as router for the house.
    We're having trouble setting up Xbox Live, keep getting stuck at getting the xbox to communicate/access the web. Error reads "can't obtain IP address from router... make sure DHCP is enabled and has a large enough address range for all devices on network.. also make sure MAC filtering allows your console's MAC address or is disabled... "
    We dont' know what else to do. I'm at wit's end before giving Gates $100... Anyone know how to get connected?
    Thank you!

    You can also perform a simple test to verify if you have an internet connection at the ethernet port on the AirPort Express.
    Move a laptop near the Express, turn off the wireless on the laptop, and connect to the Express using an ethernet cable. See if you can open your browser and get a good solid internet connection.
    If you can, the Express is setup correctly and you know that you have an internet connection reaching all the way to the Xbox.
    If you can't then there is a configuration error somewhere and it will need to be identified and corrected.

  • I need to get a new wifi card for my mac air. do i have to buy this from a apple store? i live fare away from an apple store.

    I spilled some red wine on my keyboard and i cannot connect to the internet any more. it says on the internet icon: Wi-fi: no harware installes. so i guess i need to get a new wifi card for my mac air. do i have to buy this from a apple store? i live fare away from an apple store. Also, I do have a macbook with software system:
    System Version:          Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549). can I take out the wifi card from that mack and use that one for my mac air?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Consider yourself lucky that your MacBook is still working. Now, turn it off. Wine may have damaged other parts of your computer.
    Then, take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller. It will be a very expensive repair, as it's not covered by warranty and the logic board has to be replaced. In some cases, it may be better to get a new MacBook.
    If you can't take it to an Apple Store, contact with Apple > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • New wifi card for PowerBook G4 (2002, OS 10.4.11)

    Hello,
    Can anyone recommend a wifi card for a PowerBook G4?
    I've just bought a secondhand model, and I'd like to broaden its wifi capability. Being able to use WPA security would be a good start.
    - Richard

    I bought the WiFi card from eBay. It's a Chinese clone of a Motorola WN825Gv3 (part number: 518565-001-00). Here's the old eBay link: http://bit.ly/XmW0Gb
    I can't remember exactly what settings I used on my Powerbook – mainly because I clicked things at random until it worked – but I did have to click "renew lease" in WiFI settings to get the card to work.
    I didn't have to change any settings on my router, but the card isn't compatible with 5Hz WiFi frequencies, or the "n" speed WiFi.
    Other than having to renew the lease occasionally, the card works smoothly.

  • Wifi card for archlinux?

    I want to buy a wifi card. How wifi card for archlinux, please?

    The driver for prism2/2.5/3 chipsets is provided by the wlan-ng26 package, not by the kernel. It's a very mature and stable driver. If it's prism54, the original version is in the kernel, but you would need to check on prism54.org before using it - there have been various developments since.

  • Upgrade Wifi Card in my Satellite Laptop Help.

    So our cable/Internet guy come out to our house to fix the internet, when he was done he did a test on all the computers, all were fine accept this laptop. The wifi speed is only pulling in half of what all the others are, even if we hold it directly next to the router.
    I want to upgrade the wifi card to something that can take more advantage of our high speed interent, but i have little experience with laptops. I have been building and repairing my families desktop PCs for years, so i do have some experience in this area though.
    i did some reading on how to phisically replace the card, so i can probably handle that pretty well, my real problem is finding out what cards are compatable. I can't find any detailed enough specs to find this information, such as, does the wifi card in this laptop use a PCIE slot or something else? Are there different size cards  i need ti look out for, and i read something about BIOS white liisting.
    One article said some manufatcurers black/witelist some hardware, and i was told to check and see if i can find if this is so, and if i can find the list. I would apreciate any help with thiis issue, thanks.
    Anyways, my laptop version is, Satellite Toshiba C875D-S7331

    I would love to see that list also I replaced my card with an azurewave broadcom card mod BCM94352HMB I can now connect at 866 mbps on AC but have found no way to get bluetooth to work the different driver installs tell me to turn on the Bluetooth I could not find anything in the bios to enable. The card is a 802.11/ac/867Mbps WLAN+BT4.0 half mini PCI-E.
    computer is a S855-S5254....Both win10TP and 8.1 installed the proper broadcom driver automatically but I have not figured out the BT yet. This card picks up wifi better than the realtek that was original. I have read a lot of complaints on the intel cards so I went this way.

  • Compatible WIFI card for Thinkpad a21m, wifi orinoco silver no longer working

    Thank you for having this forum available.
    My husband passed down his Thinkpad A21M Type 2628-GTU to our son. The wifi card that was with it is a Lucent Technologies Orinoco Silver 11mbit/s t/n 03549501 p/n012938/c. When powered up last night, the ethernet was fully functional, but the wireless card didn't connect to the net. My husband assumed the Lucent card was bad. Is there something compatible I may buy to replace it? Do you have a suggestion on what he might have missed in trying to get it to work at home?
    He has used this laptop all over the country including at home before, so I would imagine he knows what he is doing. But, we do have a new service provider since the company upgraded his computer system.
    Thank you so much!

    Welcome to the forum!
    Honestly, it's time to upgrade to a newer card anyway, at least b/g. Any PCMCIA wireless card will work with your A21m, it all depends on your router, and your personal preferences.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • I have a dv4-2180us and I want to change out the wifi card for one w/ bluetooth and 5G

    Product name dv4-2180US. My wifi card is intel wifi link 1000 BGB, and I'd like to switch it out to an intel 6230 that has both. Is it possible to modify the BIOS? I have upgraded my BIOS to the most recent 55454 hoping that would correct the problems with the keyboard...which it has not...but I'm far more interested in making full use of my network., Thanks.

    I can tell you that you need to make sure the form factor is the same on the new as the existing one.
    The bios really has no bearing on it. Its hardware thats compatible with hardware.
    Parts like that are not readily available to swap from machine to machine. There are standards for which the card interfaces to the machine and thats why I mentioned the form factor of the card.
    Physical dimensions are also to be noted, as some cards are larger than others with the same form factor.
    You really have to do your homework and research to see what will work.
    Your machine may already have a slot availble for a bluetooth board, or fingerprint reader as those are both viable options.
    You are not likely going to get bluetooth and wireless n on the same card anyways. I would suggest looking for a dual band wireless n card and seeing if you have another slot to put a blutooth module into.
    Another option is to get a type 2 cardslot module and just insert it when you need it. If your machine has this type of external cardslot it may be your cheapest option.

  • WiFi Card for E2

    Thank

    You can try a hard reset to resolve the issue. The hard reset will erase all data on the device. Make sure you sync to the PC to backup your data.

    Are you using the card in an E2 or a T2? You have an E2 listed in the subject but a T2 in your "post relates to:"  at the bottom of the post.
