That's Mini PCI-E, or express. The M170 only has Mini PCI. The M1710 has Mini PCI-E.Don't know if this was what you were looking for but
here's what i found. Link
I love the DIR-655. Very stable, feature-packed router. I did have some connectivity problems until I updated to the latest firmware. Everything's fine, now.

Hey, no problem. You were trying to help, and that's what matters. I also had the DI-624. The disconnects are actually reboots. It gets overwhelmed and reboots all the freaking time. I finally got rid of that POS.Hi Flapjack,
Sorry for the bad links and wrong component suggestion. I'll edit the post and take out the ebay link.
I'm glad to hear that the DIR-655 is working great. I'm planning to order one as soon as it becomes in stock at frys. I had an older Dlink (624) that suffered from disconnects (even with the latest firmwares) and i'm hoping that the bugs have been worked out in the DIR-655. Thanks for the feedback!
Cool. I wish I had a Mini PCI-E card. I've actually considered selling my XPS M170 and getting an M1710 just for the slot. Not sure how much I'd lose, though...I like to thank you for finding me one when if I wasnt really looking.
for $36.99 its cheap.

are mini-pci cards hard to change out? my school is forcing me to get the Dell D620 rather than the new D630, thus I only have b/g when I'd rather have n included...
i take it they void your warranty if you switch them out?
Talk to Dell. I've done all sorts of stuff to my laptop, and my warranty was never voided. I had problems with the first Mini PCI NIC that came with my laptop. They sent me two different ones, but the problem never went away (dropped connections). I tried to tell them it was a design flaw, but they wouldn't listen until I tried replacing it with the same one. They finally sent me the next model up. Haven't had a problem since.are mini-pci cards hard to change out? my school is forcing me to get the Dell D620 rather than the new D630, thus I only have b/g when I'd rather have n included...

forcing how? if you mean you can't get a school discount on the d630, how much can you save on the d620? if force just means some arbitrary rule, fuck them and get the d630. fuck rules. seriously. fuck them.are mini-pci cards hard to change out? my school is forcing me to get the Dell D620 rather than the new D630, thus I only have b/g when I'd rather have n included...

broken hymen???It would void your warranty if you broke any seals.
I'm going to try some more tonight. I got a suggestion from Tim Higgins at SmallNetworkBuilder to try moving the two antennas to another pair of plugs. I'll mess around and see what happens.I have no answers to you question but I'm interested in your results as it seems there are no MiniPCI Draft N cards out. Never thought to check inside a draft N router. I'm definitely curious if you will have any luck getting the card from inside the router to connect at N speeds and also am curious about the third antenna connection as my two laptops also have only two wires...
