Considering that this my first time too, I can vouch that this upgrade is quite simple. If you have never worked on a laptop before you will want to know the difficulty level. In fact, people have very few problems with the Intel 8260, making it a more attractive option. Intel is superb at updating their drivers for this Wi-Fi card and compared to Killer people have fewer bugs. While MU-MIMO is helpful for homes with many devices connected it is not a clear-cut technology that will matter for most users.įinally, another reason to consider the Intel 8260 is support.
To take advantage of MU-MIMO you also need a router that supports it, which most do not. The Killer 1535 is more expensive at around $40, but isn't as easily found online. Some people have also used a Killer 1535 card that has MU-MIMO (Multiuser multiple input, multiple output). Does it matter? While it is ideal to have a 3x3 system if you are already having issues with the Dell Wireless 1830 it is a moot point.
