For those wishing to order a new WiFi card: I ordered one via
AliExpress. Due to being a newby poster, I cannot include links. You can
find the card by searching for the following product ID:
32799056131
It should bring the following product description:
Wireless Adapter Card for Atheros 2413
Great thread!
I love it as much as I love my Boom!
Sometmes ignorance is bliss. I ordered this card:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32639702162.html without seeing the
posts in this thread.
At first I thought the card was not compatible with my Boom. I then
tried to wiggle the card some more
I'll post the link for you.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but the Aliexpress link above from
w3wilkes is still valid and I am listening to my boom with this very
card installed. Sorry as a first time poster I cannot link the URL.
The original card is stuck down with double sided tape and is hard to
remove. I ended up
just for the record, this here card works with a SB3:

Never mind the crud : )

Thanks for the idea but I did try that.
I also put one of my new secondhand cards into the Receiver and it
worked straight away.

That's a shame. Is it worth doing a factory reset after fitting one of
these cards?

Double damn ... found a Receiver and took the WiFi card from that ...
Boom still didn't like it.
So this one is destined to remain Ethernet only.

Damn ... tried another one in the Boom and that didn't work either.
So ... leaving it running on Ethernet until I come across a Receiver
that I can cannibalise for its card.

I don't have a way to test the card outside of the
I brought a receiver back to life with this card, but I see that it's no
longer available on Amazon.

I too had an apparent total failure of my SB3 (Slim Devices). Removing
the wireless card brought it back to life so following the advice in
this thread trawled eBay for any card with AR5BMB5 in the description.
The following Sony Vaio card came up and worked:
-Sony Vaio VGN-FS515H Internal WLAN
I bought a used sb2, wired only, and opened it up to find a slot just
waiting for a wireless card. So I bought one and some antennas and it
worked, and continues to work, just fine.
All I can retrieve easily is this description of the card, from my ebay
purchase history:
TL-WN560G MiniPCI Mini
Recently my SB3 failed to boot - no display but optical connection
glowed. A common reason is the WLAN card has either become loose has
failed.
So I removed the wireless card and then found SB3 would boot up.
Reseating the WLAN card still resulted in no boot so thew WLAN card had
clearly
