m18 R1, weak Bluetooth, upgrading possible?
Good evening everyone,
I had my wireless Bluetooth earbuds lose connection where on another non-Alienware pc they had a strong connection. I even had connectivity issues sitting 2 feet in front of my Alienware M18 R1 also.
I was wondering if the current Bluetooth 5.2 component(s) can be swapped out for a Bluetooth 5.3?
If so which component to you recommend?
Thanks
Thanks,
Stefos

I have found and am considering replacing my existing Wifi card with this one:

Any standard M.2 wireless card will work -- that said, the standard card is Bluetooth 5.3. Are the antenna leads properly connected to the card?

@ejn63
Hi and Thanks,
Yes, the leads are connected properly.
So either the BE200 or the BE1750x will work?
I see no visual difference between the 2 cards
