Airport card upgrade, better range and faster?
Hello,
I have a late 2011 Macbook pro pro. I love to upgrade everything that is possible. I want to know if it is possible to upgrade my Airport card so it can receive my internet connection better and faster.
Is this a good question?

On other forums there has been an ongoing discussion about 802.11 ac upgrading on a MacBook Pro 15" late 2011 using some customized adaptor and replaced (soldered) connectors but I have not found any final solution. Anybody out there having successfully tried?

Don't know what you heard, there is no adapter required for the newer AC board. It uses the same connection to the system. The issue is not the that, its the limits of the antennas the system has. Think of it this way, putting a race car engine into your car doesn't change the fact you're still limited by the road you are driving on. To really gain the performance you'll need to install new antennas which is just not possible.
