Finally got around to replacing the intel 6235 with the killer 1202 (this is the one that the alienware laptops use). The reason why I replaced the card was because of frequent dropouts and slow connection speeds. I initially tried upgrading drivers, swapping routers and disabling a bunch of options, but no luck. After the upgrade, the wireless is working flawless.
In the video, I do mention a soldering option. This is a theory; I haven't tried it to see if it works because my "tape" method works for now. If the tape method starts to come apart, I may consider soldering the wires to the wifi adapter since I know it will work together.
Also note that this should be done from a fresh install. When I initially got the card installed, I had bluetooth driver conflicts with the intel bluetooth driver/suite. I can't remember if I tried uninstalling it, but in the end I ended up doing a format and a fresh install.
