Upgrading to Wifi 6

[geotrouvetout67]

Hi - I own an all-in-one, 27 DP0188, it came with a Realtek Wi-Fi 5 (2x2) and Bluetooth 5 Combo combo.
I assume this is a separate card that I can replace? I would like to upgrade to a Wifi 6 3x3 card. Any recommendation?
How do we even open that computer up? Looks like everything is clipped on, no external screws.
Thanks

Hi:

You should be able to replace the RTL8822CE Wi-Fi adapter with this model...

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 Wi-Fi adapter on eBay.

Search by the HP part number, not the model of the Wi-Fi card.

Below is the link to the service manual...

Below is the link to a service teardown video which should apply to your PC's model series.

thank you, this is helpful, but is there a 3x3 card available (wifi 6e)?

You're very welcome.

Unfortunately, there isn't.

Even the AX200 is not officially supported in the model series, but it should work.

Your PC's model series only supports the card you have installed now and the 1 x 1 RTL8821CE model.

You can see this discussion as to what to expect if you try the Intel AX210 non-VPro wifi 6e card...

The AX200 would be a significant upgrade already, hopefully that user gives us an update in a few days.

Thanks
