I would like to upgrade my Desktop to support Wifi 6 & Bluetooth 5.0. What to do?


Product Number: 2HL14AA
Current Network card: 915620-001
Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11ac Bluetooth 4.2 wifi adapter
802.11ac (1x1) and Bluetooth® 4.2 M.2 combo

Hi:

 

Unfortunately, you won't be able to do a direct swap for a wifi 6 card because your notebook only has one antenna cable connected to the RTL8821CE card in there now and the Intel AX200 requires two antenna cables.

 

If your PC has a free PCIe x1 slot you can add one that way.

For now I do not need Wifi 6. Do you have any suggestions to do a direct swap with something to get Bluetooth 5.0?

HP Recommended

Unfortunately, I do not.

 

None of the wifi cards that work with one antenna cable support BT 5.0.

 

If you need BT 5.0, I recommend you purchase a USB BT 5.0 adapter.
