Hello... 

 

I love my new notebook. It's work perfectly. Only the wifi card is sick.  It is the REALTEK RTL8832CE.

 

Can I replace it with an Intel wifi card, for example the AX200NGW?

 

I hope, my bios havent a Whitelist. 

 

Thank you

You are in luck: 1. no BIOS whitelist (has not been a "thing" for many years now; and 2. your laptop has 2 antennae built in so you can upgrade to a better wifi card.

 

Manual 

 

See pages 26-33. HP even has the Intel card you ask about available as a replacement part:

 

Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 802.11ax 2 × 2 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 5.0 L35282-005

Thank you for your fast answer... 

In your eBay link, it is with 2 antennas separate... Do I need this ? Because you say, my notebook have 2 antennas ?

HP Recommended

Or can I easily plug and play ?

HP Recommended

You can toss the 2 antennae. Use the ones already in the laptop. The price on this one was lower than others with just the card.

I open my notebook and I see, I have only ONE antenna. Where is the second antenna ?https://www.bilder-upload.eu/bild-e8cdfb-1577262176.jpg.html

Well obviously the Manual is wrong. Did you buy the other wifi card?

HP Recommended

Yes I buy it... It still arrive on middle of January. **bleep**... And now? I can don't use the wifi card ?

HP Recommended

You are going to need those antennae. All I can go on is what the manual says and it says all models in that series have 2 antennae. Apologies. Post back when the part arrives.

I ordered the wifi card from AliExpress without antennaes, cause you said, I don't need antennaes...
