You mean for the dell Latitude? And remove/swap the internal card?
Google time...

Just buy a mini pci Intel network card and be done with it.
My msi netbook had some obscure Chinese brand and I swapped it for an Intel
5300 (not sure of the model) an the performance difference was like night
and day.
These wifi cards cost like 30 bucks so its a cheap and cheerful upgrade.

Bam!
I got my Dell Latitude XT to recognize the 5G band of the 3700! Now it
reports 270 Mbps. Haven't had time to test it, though, but that's a feel
good moment.
Turns out the problems was the damn laptop. It has a Dell Wireless 1505
Draft 802.11n WLAN Mini card in it. Googling revealed all kind of problems
with this card....but I finally got around to looking for a Windows 7 64-bit
driver. That got me to someone claiming that the updated driver for this
device has the problems. So the solution was the delete it (and the files
too) and let Win7 reinstall its stock driver. Well, lo and behold, the
laptop now sees both the 2.4 and 5 G band networks, as well as their SSIDs.
Simple matter after that to get up and going.
Not sure I'm going to let the laptop live there, though. I don't really need
it for faster downloads. I'd like to give all of that bandwidth to my Tivo
downstairs, if possible. On the other hand...I don't use the laptop that
much here so sharing probably wouldn't be much of a problem. But now I can
use the laptop to see what kind of 5GHz signal I get downstairs near the
Tivo.
I swore a long time ago to NEVER buy another dell anything. What I didn't
swear was to let someone else buy me a dell something. Well, no more dell
for me. Period. Same with Apple.
Did y'all hear that Verzion and Google claim to be working on an Android
Tablet? I hope they keep on track with that as competition is a good thing.

Are both n and g enabled?
Set the band to 6 just to make sure. Also give the firmware update...
