Heya,
sorry for the strange title of the question, I've just started reading about networking and network cards so I'm still a bit wonky with the terms.
Anyway, I've got a XPS 15 9550 from 2015 and would like to replace the wireless network card, mostly because it just doesn't play nice with Linux. It currently has a Broadcom BCM943602BAED, which uses three antennae, am I right to assume that means that it is a 3x3 card? I cannot find relevant spec sheets for that particular card.
The internet recommends the Intel AC 9260 and the newer Intel AX 200. I was thinking about buying the AX 210, but all of those cards are 2x2 and only have two antennae plugs. So the question begs whether I should care or not. Do I just get the AX 210 and leave one antenna dangling around, or should I get a different card altogether?
Thanks
