Asus U46E-BAL5 WLAN Upgrade

Updating the Asus U46E-BAL5 miniPCIe WLAN card was more straightfoward, but the actual process of physically replacing the WLAN card is DIFFICULT. The miniPCIe slot is on the top side of the Asus U36E-BAL5 under the top case (keyboard) and to get to it, you have to remove ALL the screws from the underside.



The AzureWave Broadcom BCM94352HMB 802.11ac + BT4.0 here from amazon.com work perfectly in the Asus U46E-BAL5. Note the miniPCIe port is visible on the upper right hand side of the image below of the Asus U46E-BAL5 motherboard.
