HP EliteOne 800 G6 All-in-One PC Wolf Pro Security Edition (4M751EA) - Add Wireless/Bluetooth?

[AdamElphick]

Hi All,  I just got myself a lovely HP EliteOne 800 G6 All-in-One PC Wolf Pro Security Edition (4M751EA) and as it is a 'Business' PC it only comes with Ethernet (No Wifi or BT).

I can see from the service manual that there are a couple of offical cards to use (Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 & Realtek RTL8822CE Wi-Fi 5), but wondered if any decent M2 combo card would be OK?

Thanks

Hi:

Below is the link to the parts list for your PC's product number.

HP PartSurfer

It indicates it comes with an internal antenna:

M27332-001

SPS-ANTENNA 800 G6 AIO 27

Before you buy a Wi-Fi adapter, I recommend you confirm how many antenna wires are inside.

There should be two because both the cards you listed need two antenna wires in order to work properly and I found this picture of the antenna part number on an eBay listing which shows two antenna wire connectors.

You should be able to install either one of these cards:

Intel BE200 M.2 2230 Wi-Fi 7 + Bluetooth 5.4 non-vPro WW WLAN module   HP part # / SPS # N39883-005

Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E 2x2 AX + Bluetooth 5.2 M.2 2230 non-vPro   HP part # / SPS # M27269-005.

Great thanks for the info. I'll open the back up (wish they made it as easy to open as my old Dell XPS One 27- "2 screws and slide"!) and have a check.  The cards seems relativelty inexpensive to thankfully.

It's so weird they spec a 'business' machine with a gaming ready grahics card and B&O Sound (which isn't actually very good), but miss out wireless and BT.....

You're very welcome.

I too, am pretty surprised that the PC didn't come with built in Wi-Fi--especially since the parts list indicates the antenna wires are included in the build.

Normally, if a PC does not come with built in Wi-Fi, there are no antenna wires included.

Yep - this machine is awesome.  i9-10900, GeForce® RTX 2070 SUPER Etc.  Nothing like a typical business All In One.  So the missing WiFi can only be so they can pitch it at the 'ethernet only' type office environment.  It's just so odd.

Anyway I am very happy with it so far (despite me setting it up using one ancient wifi and one ancient BT USB dongle LOL.  Once everything is across from my Dell XPS One27 I can move it to it's desk and plug it in.  So although I'll install the WiFi/BT card I will only be using the BT part in all honesty.

Ok so I was thinking why spend £20 on a WiFi/BT card when I will only use the BT really (it's ethernet connected)... So I looked for other cheaper cards and found this:

It's half the price, and has BT 5.0! 

Would it be ok to install one of those? Thanks
