Introduction
This guide covers how to access and replace the Wi-Fi card in a Dell Latitude 5320 2-in-1. The Wi-Fi card allows the device to connect to wireless networks and Bluetooth accessories. Depending on the card installed, wireless performance and compatibility may vary. The Dell Latitude 5320 2-in-1 shipped with multiple Wi-Fi card options; if your device uses a Wi-Fi 5 card, upgrading to Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 can improve connection speed, stability, security, and Bluetooth compatibility.
Before starting the repair, power off the Dell Latitude 5320 2-in-1, unplug it from the charger, and disconnect the battery.
