HP Envy 750-124 , can network adaptor be upgraded

[DeadPoets]

The network adapter in the HP Eny 750-124 appears to max out at 433.  Is it possible to upgrade the network adapter in the machine to one that supports a gigabyte speeds?

Hi:

According to the parts list for your PC, it comes with an Intel 3165 AC M.2 wifi adapter.

I believe your PC has two antenna wires connected to the Intel 3165 wifi card, and if so, you should be able to upgrade to this model wifi card with Bluetooth...

Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 ax 2×2 + Bluetooth 5.0 MU-MIMO M.2 2230 non-vPro    HP part # L35282-005

You should be able to find this model card on eBay. 

Search by the HP part number, not the model of the wifi card.

Hi Paul_Tikkanen,

First, I want to thank you for responding to my original post.  The network adaptor is built into the motherboard; but I have one available slot. So I should still be able to disable the buit-in and intall the device you suggested...right?

You're very welcome.

The wifi card is not soldered to the motherboard.

It is held down by a single screw and once you remove the screw and antenna wires, you can remove the card from the slot.

Here is a video on how to remove a M.2 wifi card.   This is for a notebook, but the procedure would be the same.  I don't see a plastic cover over the wifi card in your picture.
