Upgrade wireless 'g' to wireless 'n'

robart6

Could somebody recommend a full height wireless 'n' PCIe card with driver download for Aspire 5610z, Vista Home Premium, 32-bit, SP2. 

History:  I tried Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 card with driver downloaded from Intel but it can't find any wireless networks to connect to.  When I run the diagnosis problem feature it states wireless is not turned on; however, it is on because the wireless 'g' card works just fine.  Tested the card in another laptop and it worked fine, so it's not a defective card.  Might be a driver problem but I got the driver from Intel.  Not sure what else could be wrong. 

Need a recommendation on another 'n' card OR ideas on how to make this one work.

Thanks in advance to anyone and everyone for helping me.

Have you tried FN+F3? Right click on your wifi in device manager and see if it is enabled.

The last poster in this thread says the Intel 6200 and 5300 will work.
