I would like to replace the original network card with a new faster one. I am using a brand new TP-LINK Archer C5400 wireless router.
Can you please recommend a few good fast and compatible network card's, and also some guided instruction's for the actual replacement?
I would greatly appreciate any and all help you can offer!
Thanks again, roosterblue1

Hello;
Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!
Unlike desktops, which use generic cards, laptops use customized modules -- and for your model laptop, there are only two WLAN modules available.
These are mentioned on page 4-17 of this Service Guide: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01910942
These are the only things that will work in this laptop.
