Product: P1A95UA##ABA
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Please advise if it's possible to upgrade the wireless card in my laptop to an 802.11ac also add Bluetooth if possible. An 802.11b/g/n card is currently installed. I really want ac but would like to add Bluetooth if possible. Also, can you tell me some cards that will work if it possible and where I can buy them at. Thanks
My PC is an HP 15-af131dx Notebook PC.

hi.

 

Wireless Networking Integrated wireless options with single antenna (M.2): Compatible with 0iracast-certiƭed devices Support for the following WLAN formats: 

 

 

Realtek RTL8723BE 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi + BT4.0 Combo Adapter 792610-005

Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi Adapter 792609-005

Broadcom BCM43142 802.11 b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi + BT4.0 M.2 Combo Adapter 792608-005

 

These wireless cards would be compatible, that a combo is Wifi + Bluetooth work, will depend on the operating system, since there is no physical button to be powered unless I remember

 

Here is how to buy at HP:

Which wifi + Bluetooth card would you recommend replacing it with the Realtek or the Broadcom? Just want to know which one would offer better performance.

If I have to give my opinion has always had better results with Realtek, although both are of similar characteristics, as the vast majority of notebooks. Note that the combo card should be activated by the system and have the appropriate driver, if What you are looking for is a much better compatible card you can always buy an external USB type 5 Ghz and improve the signal type USB Adapter Wi-Fi 5G (802.11ac).
