HP Recommended
Product: hp pavillion dv6 6080ed
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I recently purchased an intel 3160 AC wlan adapter to replace the standard one ( broadcomm 4313 ) installed/provided with this laptop as I wanted to upgrade to a dual band adapter.

Unfortunately the laptop does not boot when the intel adapter is placed, it comes up with a message the wlan adapter is not accepted (702) and tells the user to replace it and then start again (whitelist issue).  I updated the BIOS to latest version although most recent version is still 2011. It's an old laptop, upgraded RAM and HD to SSD, but still works fine and would really like to get on dual-band wifi ( and prefer not to use USB dongle or similar solution).

 

Could someone provide help here ?

 

Thanks in advance.
