I would like to replace my Wi-Fi card ,faster and stronger, Aspire One 722-0473, running Microsoft windows 8.1, any ideas which one will work?

Disable your MB integrated card and try this USB dongle  http://www.amazon.com/Panda-300Mbps-Wireless-N-Adapter-button/dp/B00EQT0YK2/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&...

Thanks for your reply, I'm sure that would work but I would really like to replace the card at that 300 speed, I just need to know which one is compatible with the chipset

Sorry, but as noted, the AO722's wifi card is integrated with the MB --- meaning it's soldered in and not a replaceable plug-in. It cannot be removed but can be disabled to allow the use of the dongle.

Maybe you're thinking of another model, I have already purchased a half mini PCI E Wi-Fi card but it did not function ,replacement was easy removal of one screw and two antenna wires and installed the driver but what what I need is one that is compatible with the AMD C-60 APU chipset, but I don't know where or how to discover this, thanks

Thanks,is there one card you would recommend as an upgrade from the original? Googling your list I was unable to come up with a seller in the US, is there a supplier you could recommend? Will Acer sell me one? Thanks

I recall some advice from a Linux community board that it was better and cheaper to disable the factory-shipped wifi card and go with the aforementioned USB dongle or similar.
