Hi,

Does anyone know the specs of this card?

HP 666914-001 Wireless A/B/G/N + Bluetooth 4.0 WiFi Half Mini PCIe Card.

It doesn't say what speed etc. I'm trying to a latest version if you know what it is copatible with. Thanks.

Hi:

I believe the wifi card you have is made by Broadcom and it has a maximum connection speed of 300 MBPS on the 5.0 GHz wifi band, and 144 MBPS on the 2.4 GHz wifi band.

You should be able to put this card in your model...

Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11 ac 2x2 WiFi + BT 4.0    HP Part # 710661-001

The card is readily available on eBay or Amazon, and shouldn't cost very much at all.

Do your search by the HP part number, not by the model number of the wireless card.

Here is the link to the specs on the suggested Intel card...

Thanks so much for the information! I have that card in another HP laptop. I'll test it out before I buy another AC 8260.

You're very welcome.

The 8260 does not come in the HMC form factor.

It only comes in the M.2 form factor, so it won't work in your PC.

Also it has the same throughput specs as the 7260 anyway.

Oh, bugga. 

But thanks again. You saved me from taking the PC apart.

Anytime.

Glad to have been of assistance.
