Dell XPS 13 WiFi issues? How to fix by upgrading your wireless card

How do I upgrade the wireless card in my Dell XPS 13?

One small complaint with the stellar Dell XPS 13 heard from some users: the stock wireless card sucks. To be more precise, these users have a hard time finding bars while not located directly next to a wireless router. While this might not be such a big deal at home, you can't exactly move your desk at work or your seat at college.

Other XPS 13 users who installed a Linux-based operating system discovered that the stock wireless card didn't want to play nicely with their new install.

The solution to both problems? You can try a driver or a BIOS update, or you can invest about $20 in a new Intel wireless card. The Intel wireless card has both better reception overall and also plays a lot better with Linux.

The process to replace your wireless card takes about 10 minutes and is super easy with the right tools — best part is you probably already have the tools lying around the house. Want to take the plunge and completely replace the wireless card in your XPS 13? Here's how to get the job done.
