    Looking for a great Android tablet around $300 or less

    The Nexus 7 (7-Inch, 32 GB, Black) would be a great choice , but unfortunately it is just 7 inches and you wanted a little bigger tablet. I implore you to go for the Dell Venue 8 Pro 64 GB Tablet (Windows 8.1), it has similar performance to the nexus 7 with a quad core processor, 2 GB RAM...

    Samsung replacement wireless lan

    A doubt another brand wireless card will work. If you don't want to get another atheros ar9485wb card then all you need to do is to get a usb wireless device. The work fine and most times even better than the wireless card and capability of the laptop it self. Get the TP-LINK TL-WDN3200 N600...
