Good morning to All.

 

I want to upgrade the wi-fi card to my Compaq and I want to ask about the compatible dual band cards for my model. 

Any help would be very appreciated.

Hi:

 

Since your notebook has a BIOS whitelist which prevents the installation of any other wireless card other than the one currently installed, you would have to use a dual band USB wifi adapter to have faster wifi.
