This answer might be useful for others who still want to update their Wifi card in their R7-572.
I just replaced the original Broadcom BCM943228HMB on my R7-572 with an Intel 7260HMW CN: 08TF1D (Standard half-height mini PCI-e interface card ). I found it on ebay:https://www.ebay.ca/itm/4-0-Wireless-Min... (19 USD as of October 2018)
After the card is installed, run Intel Driver & Support Assistant and my driver where updated to the latest ones (for both the AC 7260 and the Bluetooth adapter). http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/s...
I am using Windows 8.1 on this laptop.
