Hi All,
Looking for some help. I have a 2017 Asus GL553VD laptop with a Realtek RTL8723BE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC wifi card in it (according to the device manager anyway). I've just moved to a new apartment with shared Internet and am struggling to get a signal. The connection drops frequently and I have to keep on resetting the adapter. I also get a fairly poor signal. It's not an issue on my iPhone or Ipad so I assume it's the laptop. It, the laptop, needs replacing but I need to get a few more months out of it first, would replacing the card be a possibility, I'd ideally like to upgrade to a 5ghz unit (something like this https://amzn.to/3NWFRs8) or would I be better off purchasing USB 3 Wifi Dongle, something like this? https://amzn.to/3tkZuR8
I do hope links are allowed and that I have the right forum. Just looking for some assistance. I am able to swap out the card, just looking for the best solution as it's affecting my work.
Thanks,
Rob
