I have a Dell Latitude E6410 circa 2011. What's the latest WiFi only and and BT only cards and what's the latest WiFi/BT combo card I can get for it? I'd prefer a combo card but I know Dell has used two cards in the past for the E6420.
My E6410 has a Mini PCIe slot for a half height card. Many of the latest cards I see have a different connector. I've read of people NOT able to use a card made more than two or three years after their laptop was made. It wasn't due to the slot type. It just didn't work for them.
I need the the same advice for a Dell Latitude E6420. I know they were made with two cards. Mine has a WiFi only card and no BT card. I'd prefer a combo card. The only BT only cards I've found are old ones compliant with old BT standards.
I could get just a WiFi card and use a BT USB dongle if that's what you recommend. I've found BT 3.0 and 4.0 dongles on ebay. Once I saw a BT 4.1 dongle. I've never seen a BT 5.0 dongle.
I think the latest Mini PCIe WiFi/BT card I saw was a 9260. I've seen later gens but they used the NWG or whatever it's called interface (slot).
Thank you
