Questions about this item

Should I pick the 28V8D or the F479K part number for my Alienware 17 R5?

Both numbers refer to the same Dell wireless card; 28V8D is the primary MPN while F479K is an alternate Dell part number, so either will fit the Alienware 17 R5.

What does the 1.73 Gbps figure mean when the card is installed in my laptop?

It is the maximum theoretical Wi-Fi throughput under dual-band 802.11ac with MU-MIMO; real-world speeds depend on router capability, channel width and interference.

Does the M.2 2230 interface limit the Bluetooth 5.0 performance?

No; the M.2 2230 slot provides both PCIe and USB lanes, so Bluetooth 5.0 operates at full specification while the Wi-Fi uses the PCIe lane.
