Hey sorry If I am asking noob question..

So obviously I have gone through the guide and I understand most of the process except how to replace wifi card and more importantly which one to pick .

Now I have gone through the wifi guide but I don't understand if I should be buying M.2 or PcIe or mini for my y540 also because I saw the above video but it's seems more complicated ( maybe due to entennas ? ) than
?

Or does it depend on what kind of card a laptop comes pre-installed with ie m.2 or PCIe or also can you keep original one and add new one to different slot like Ssd ?

Sorry I am kind of confused can anyone help me choose which card should I buy and would be an easy switch ?

Ps : Also I found these cards (attached) near me as of now if it's not a problem can anyone tell which one would be the best one to buy for y540 ?

Buy this one : https://m.nl.aliexpress.com/item/32...er_id=f268794e100d476390d7c427429558be&is_c=N

Replacement is very easy though

Not Working
You won't have WIFI neither BLUETOOTH working, you have to replace the WIFI/BLUETOOTH card
Wifi and bluetooth (you have to change wifi card to BCM94352Z to enable this natively)

I recently changed the BCM943602cs, wifi/Bluetooth does not need to install the driver. I can't do anything about your problems, haha

Q. WiFi/bluetooth is not working. How to fix?

WiFi: depends on having compatible hardware. Recommendations:
BCM943252HMB or BCM943252Z (depending on required form factor)
BCM94360HMB or BCM943602BAED (depending on required form factor)

This is a Good Option
