Hi, all,
I would like to replace RTL8821CE with something more modern. I tried the mt7921 card from another HP laptop. But in the device manager there is only bluetooth.

 

I also tried the Intel AX210 card - only Bluetooth is displayed.

 

Please can anyone tell me the compatible part numbers/items to purchase?
Thanks, regards,

(OS Windows 10: hp 15-eh1106ua, AMD)

Hi:

 

If you tried those cards and they didn't work, most likely your notebook has a BIOS whitelist.

 

There's only one other wifi 6 card that I know of that you can try, and if supported, the wifi and bluetooth work with the single antenna wire your notebook comes with.

 

Realtek Wi-Fi 6 RTL8852BE-VS + Bluetooth 5.3   HP part #N26166-005

 

If that doesn't work either, you won't be able to upgrade the wifi adapter.

 

I have found that this small dual band USB wifi 6 adapter with Bluetooth works very well.

 

Works in a notebook PC's USB port as well.

ok. I will try to find and buy the card "HP part #N26166-005", but the number of offers is very small.

 

I will definitely leave a feedback.
