Hello meira007
I see you would like to upgrade the existing wireless card for other model. Before you do that, there's some recommendations I would like to share.
Note that the Intel(R) Centrino Advanced N-6230 adapter is meant to be professionally installed by Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) technicians on certified systems only, and that's because you may need a specific hardware revision. Most OEMs would use hardware protection BIOS, that would block any unauthorized cards installed by the End-User.
Installing an aftermarket wireless adapter in your laptop can cause several issues which may affect usage of the wireless adapter or laptop. Some of these issues may include the following:
- The OEM may have installed the wireless adapter with a lock to prevent installation of another adapter.
- Your adapter may not be electrically compatible with your laptop that may cause the adapter and/or your laptop to no longer function.
- Wireless hardware installation and use is subject to regulatory approval, and the adapter purchased may not support your local regulations.
For additional information, refer to:

In this case what we recommend and encourage you to first contact the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to determine if the product is approved for use in your computer.
Cheers!
