Lenovo T60 802.11.ac card

[ecuecu]

I got 2 antenna N-atheros card to day with modified bios. I want to upgrade to 

Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260

will it work with 2 antennas? 788mbit would be awesome.

That card won't fit without a half-size to full-size adapter. From there you will need a modified bios with the lenovo whitelist removed and then it's possible it might work.

One thing I'm not sure about is if there could be potential conflicts with the integrated bluetooth if your T60 has BT.

I installed bluetooth on my t60 before so i can remove it.

I can confirm that 802.11ac works fine in my t60 with adapter, got modified bios and my wifi speed shows 867Mbit  Bluetooth works fine too.

Do you remeber where you purchased your adapter for the 7620?  I have a T61 with Middleton BIOS that I would like to upgrade to the Intel 7620ac but am unsure what kind of adapter I need.  Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks for the link but don't I still need an adapter for the actual card to fit?  I was under the impression that the 7620 was too small to fit into my T61 and that there is a special "adapter" that will make it fit correctly, or will it work without having to use anything else right out of the box?  Sorry about the "noob" questions, just want to make sure I do it right.
