WiFi Card option for VGX-XL2

[sonyvaio4man]

Hi All, Could someone suggest an option for me. What type of card options would I have to upgrade my internal WLan card on my VGX-XL2?
I would prefer to keep as much stock components as I can for now but the wifi is a must to 
get going as fast as possibly.

Hi,

I'd recommend you to analyze your wifi chain and then identify your bottlenecks. In general the wi-fi card doesn't represent a limiting element in the connection chain. Please be aware that in general, the VGX can't manage a solid and reliable wi-fi connection without the external antenna.

An external USB wifi dongle could eventually solve your performance requirements with a very small investment (<20eur for a 300Mbit/s connection).

Could routing an Ethernet cable to the VAIO be an option?

This would give you the fastest possible speed and perhaps at the cheapest price whilst maintaining the VAIOs original hardware

If you want to use the original slot you could probably use this
