5g Card for HP Envy Phoenix 810

[AmyV1]

I have seen this question before, but not for my specific model. I am not able to see my 5g wireless connection and need to know what card I should buy for this system please. The driver I have listed now is Broadband BCM43142 802.ll bgn. I understand to get 5g I need ac. Can someone point me in the right direction as to what to purchase?

Thank you!

Amy

What is your machine ? For example HP ENVY Phoenix 810-160, its specs

     https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c04072036

This machine has  Wireless LAN 802.11a/b/g/n/ac featuring Dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) 2x2 MIMO technology and integrated. Part # 724527-001 which is N/A from HP Online store

You can use SAME part to be able to get 5GHz  from

            https://www.amazon.de/Inc-WLAN-Supra-2x2-724527-001/dp/B00H70Q6Z4

It is a bit pricey. My suggestion:

Few weeks ago, for testing, I bought the following wifi card for my 11 years old machine

          https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/Networking/Adapters/60514-7265.NGWWB.W

Unfortunately my machine uses different format, not M.2, physically won't fit therefore I went to the shop and swap to the following one (I did not have to pay more, they are same price):

And it works perfectly, get same result (download speed) with the 1G wired on same machine.

UPDATE: FYI Scorptec will not ship to the US.

Thank you for the quick answer! I tried to order it, but since it's in Australia (I'm in the US) the website won't let me order. I actually found this on Amazon - it's the same model number (7265NGW) as the link you sent me:

https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Wireless-AC-802-11ac-Wi-Fi-Bluetooth/dp/B00STV5UKW/ref=asc_df_B00STV5UK...

So I've ordered this one. I'll let you know how it works.
