BCM94352 for Ideapad 710s-13ISK

Whether you need to cut a notch depends on the slot itself, not the original card.

Yeah, good point... I'll guess I'll fetch the screw driver sooner ;-)

Edit: Seems like I'll end up here

Looks like I won't need to cut for me, am I right?

No idea from that photo. You're better off using your own eyes.

Hi Beevizz, how did your BCM94352 install work out? I'm looking to replace wifi on my Lenovo 710-15ikb.

Hi DrOptiks,

it worked like a charm: Although the Wi-Fi card which was already installed hat two notches (key A and key E, maybe see here), the socket itself could hold both types of cards since it was key E and those Wi-Fi cards are either key E or key A+E.

Therefore I just put the new card in and technically everything was fine up to that point. Luckily there was no kind of whitelisting. Bootup was normal, first the card (which was already recognized as "Broadcom" by Windows) was 'deactivated', but one more reboot and there it was

Great, thanks. I had been debating between the BCM94352Z and the BCM943602BAED but wanted an easy install.
