HP Mini upgrade b/g to b/g/n?

‎11-22-2010 07:58 AM

I would like to upgrade my HP Mini WiFi card from a b/g to a b/g/n.

I have already upgraded the RAM so I know how to open it.

Is it possible to purchase the new card? What spec card is needed? Are drivers available?

Also, if possible, does HP sell the new card? If not, any ideas on where it is available.

Can you post the exact Model number of your notebook?

OK...you can add Atheros 9285G 802.11b/g/n 1×1 WiFi Adapter module, which supported by the BIOS...

You can order the part from here ... http://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?SearchText=518436-001

Here is link to Maintenance and Service Guide which will help with replacing the module...
