I have a acer nitro v15 (n7-591g-70rt) wifi card was lose after trying to install a hard drive, and now no matter what windows wont pick it up. So I think I need a new one, the one I have now is qualcomm atheros model : qcnfa34ac

 

its smaller then the actual slot it goes into in the mother, I have seem bigger wifi cards that seem to take up the entire slot.

 

so maybe the one that shipped with my laptop isnt that great or top of the line? i dont know, but I would like to find a replacement part that will work with my laptop, can anyone recomment one?

    I bought 2 cards  1 is the Intel Dual Band 7265NGW Wireless LAN

    the other one is just like my old one qualcomm atheros model : qcnfa34ac

     

    the intel is a bigger wifi then mine but it fits. I heard from reviews that the intel card works with the nitro. But im more interested to see if my older model cards work, if none of them work, then something must have happen to the slot where it goes in
