Question Looking to replace wifi card for Dell G5 5090 Desktop

[howaboutme]

Hi all,

I have a Dell G5 5090 Desktop, not laptop, which is the majority of the search results out there. My wifi card is bugging out and constantly showing I have no internet when I clearly do. It's a bug that is off and on. Since I don't think its my network (nothing else, including other computers, are affected) I'd like to take this opportunity to replace the stock card with something better and more reliable. The problem is, I can't find a thing of what to replace it with. I'm not even sure where it is on the motherboard (pic below).

Can anyone direct me to a recommended product(s) that supports all of the latest and greatest bands and high speed connections? Where does it go? Is it internal or externa PCI?

Thanks!

Per this;

You can look into this;
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Killer-AX1650x-Bluetooth-Single/dp/B09ZQ4CXH8
wireless adapter, assuming that you've got the Qualcomm QCA9377 (DW1810) in your prebuilt at this moment of time.

You should make sure you're on the latest BIOS update for your prebuilt and then remove the current wireless adapter's drivers before removing it and then replacing it with the aftermarket adapter, to follow through by manually installing the latest drivers in an elevated command.

If you can't see where your current wifi adapter is located, it can be found in the middle of your picture, to the right of the SATA ports. Zoom in, take a picture of the adapter.

Thank you! I didn't realize it was using a M.2 slot. Would any M.2 card work? Are they all created equal if the specs are similar?

Is this it?

If so, what are the 2 wires? They look like antennas? They currently snake down and into the front cover/chassis (not sure if I'm explaining that correctly).

It looks like I can detach/unscrew the 2 wires and take out the wifi card. Then insert new one and re-attach the 2 wires?
