Yeah, it should work since it’s a Type III-B mini-PCI card.

Will this card work in a S series model laptop? I would really like to use this with my 108 Netgear Router. Does the S have the same type mini pci slot?

Thanks,
Darek

They should work with your laptop due to almost internal wireless is MiniPCI and popular type B size.
I just bought one for my T250, this one is excellent.

For what it’s worth, the Atheros based cards tend to be far better performers than the Intel 2915/2200/2100 cards.

The Atheros cards also allow you to have 108Mbps connections (with a very high rate of compatibility since many routers use Atheros chips as well), better signal holding, and better performance (i.e. less penalty for security, less power usage, etc.).
