You need to buy another mini-PCIe wifi card to the replace the onboard one. An Atheros 9280 based card is you best bet, such as the Dell DW1515.

You might want to pick a different DVD burner, such as Sony Optiarc (getting hard to find) or LG - I've seen sleep issues reported with Asus optical drives.
