Dropped my macbook air breaking the entire screen assembly. Booted the bottom part that I connected to a screen and everything was fine except for Wi-Fi. Detected signals, connected to networks but downloaded slow ass all hell. A screen replacement and format later and the problem still persists. Will replacing my Airport card fix the problem?

There is an entire antena assembly running through the screen, 2 thin cables are directly connected to it's Wifi/Bluetooth card right now.

It's definitely not a software issue.

Problem is, Apple is so fucking retarded, even among models of the same code (A1466) they have variations, something that I didn't know. The screen's camera cable doesn't fit in the I/O board thanks to that

These laptops are so fucking horrible to repair. Check the antennae connections to the WiFi card. That's almost certainly the problem.

I had, as I said in this post's first reply. Just when I was about to order a new card, I open this thing up remove and put mine back on again and I switch the two cables that plug onto it with one another. I power it back on ready to accept the fact that I'm never going to fix it and the thing just worked! I probably had the wifi and bluetooth antennas mixed. Thank you for giving a shit though Anon.

Since you're already non mobile, just get a USB to Ethernet adapter or a USB WiFi dongle. Most laptops have antennas in their screens.
