Hi!

I need to use 5GHz network, but my laptop works only with 2.4Ghz.

I heard a lot about whitelist and blacklist... Can i replace Wi-Fi card without problem? I want to use something like Intel-Dualband-Wireless-AC7260.

 

My laptop: HP Envy 15-k152nr K1X11EA#ACB

 

Thank you!

Here's the Service manual:

 

Manual

 

It says you have 2 antennae. You have no whitelist...the laptop is new enough to be past that era. 

 

An Intel 7260ac is offered but only on 17 inch models which means to me that the slot in your laptop may only accept half-height modules. 

 

The best that HP offered for your model is:

 

Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + BT 4.0 combo adapter for use only with HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC computer models or HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC computer models 710662-005

 

It is a half-height 2 antenna mini-pcie module:

 

 

You could use this non-HP half-height version of the 7260AC:
