Upgrading Notebook wireless combo

[xperikan]

Hi guys i need some advice here

I'm planning to upgrade my combo card from atheros qcwb335 to something better, yet i'm quite not sure about what card should i pick.

I usually use wireless for playing game like dota and csgo, the ping from this card is too high (200-1000ms), i need to connect wifi through my phone and tether it via usb to get better latency (22ms).

I dont know what card should i pick, but i did some research before posting this, and i saw intel 7260 (i need the bluetooth too).

And last the most important is, i am looking for half size mini pcie combo card, because asus placed it very close to cooling fan (Asus X455LD)

Nb: usually there's two cable connected to wireless card (black and white) but now i only pull out the black one and cant see the white. What is it mean?

And at last
Thankyou

each wire is an antenna, I always replace them the same way I found them some seemingly have reported getting better signal strength swapping primary and aux antennas...
now I see you mentioning you want Bluetooth... I do believe you need the third antenna for this to work. (unless the one your getting doesn't need the 3rd antenna connectivity, but the one I got for my old laptop I had taken an antenna from another parts lappy and added into the frame of the computer and all was well..

good luck

I have the same card in my laptop, there are only 2 antennas. Have you got it working, some laptops whitelist changes in BIOS so that you can't swap out internals, lenovo are very bad for it.

Thanks for the response, i think about adding more antenna from my old notebook, but then, this thing bother me "whitelist in BIOS". I'm using notebook from Asus, i dont know is my notebook support change in internal part or not. How to check it ?

Thankyou
