Product: HP ENVY dv6-7214nr Notebook PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a ralink rt3290 802.11bgn network adapter and would like to upgrade to 5ghz.  Is this upgrade possible with my laptop, and which network card do you recommend?  I would like to buy the best one for picking up weak signals as my Wifi hardly reaches to my garage.  Thanks.

Hi @gstone32926,

 

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome.

 

I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY dv6-7214nr Notebook and wanting to replace the Wlan card. Here is a link to your service manual Page 57 for replacement Wlan card.

 

But, I have got to tell you that it might not make a difference in your garage. I tried that with mine and it did not help due to the cement and metal in the garage.

 

I hope this does help you.

 

Please let me know if this help resolves the issue by marking this post as Accept as Solution. If you require further assistance let me know and I will gladly do all I can to help. 
 

Thanks.
