Hello sdkeslar,  

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.    

You did not provide the specific laptop's model number, so I am unable to check if any compatibility page is available from their side. However, this is something you need to check with your system manufacturer (OEM) directly.  

Please be aware that the installation or use of Intel® Wireless Adapters is subject to country-specific legal regulations. A Wireless Adapter installed in a system that is being sold on the market doesn't necessarily mean that same wireless adapter can be used or installed in another system for the above mentioned reason. As each country may have different regulatory requirements, before you install/change the Wireless Adapter in a system, you must contact the OEM to determine if the adapter you plan to install is approved for use in your system and country. You are required to follow the OEM post-approval requirements. You can check that here:

Additionally, if the OEM offers you the compatible wireless cards, they might be able to sell them to you (or at least give you the exact part number), also, they can help you with the installation process and warranty coverage if applicable.   

Please check the following link for different OEMs support websites:

It would be in an ASUS ROG GL551JW laptop.

Hello sdkeslar,   

Thank you for your reply. 

Based on that, you should check with Asus* directly for the compatible wireless cards with their system, as per the mentioned above reasons.
