Question Help to identify wifi card type from Asus - R521UA-EJ091T

[Mr_Quim]

Hi

I want to upgrade this laptop's card to one with Wifi 6 (Dual Band), but I've never seen one of this type, with only one input for the antenna cable.
I leave here some pictures of the wifi card that is on my laptop, to help you understand what I'm talking about and what my question is.

Can someone help me find out which type of wifi card it is? Or point me to a wifi card that is compatible?

Thank you

m.2 type device. Here it is on Amazon:

I suspect that the second antenna lead is tucked away somewhere.

Thank you. So, I just need to search for one wi-fi network card which fits the specs i want, just need to be m.2 type right? like it right? https://www.amazon.com/WISE-TIGER-A...sInFzcCI6IjMuMjkifQ==&sprefix=,aps,164&sr=8-3



I hadn't thought of that, but manufacturers often use the same "box" to build laptops with the same design but with different specs, it is possible that there is even a second antenna cable hidden, I will look for it, thanks for the tip.

Yep. That one should work.

Note the one you chose will use the entire width of the slot, unlike what you have installed now. Will still fit though.

That was my fear, buying a wi-fi card that didn't fit in the slot. Tomorrow i will try to find if it have a second antenna lead somewhere tucked and then i will order a new wi-fi card.

Thank you very much for the quick and efficient help 😀

You are welcome. The second lead is often white (in color).
