HP Pavilion 15-AU102TX Wifi Card Replacement

[aimanyt]

I'm trying to find a replacement for my current wifi card that came with the laptop because it is only single band, and I'm trying to find a dual-band replacement, but I'm not really sure about the compatibility of the wifi cards on my laptop. Any help? All I know that my laptop supports M.2 Wifi cards (based on the manual), but can I install any type of M.2 wifi cards? Thank you.

Thank you for joining the HP Support Community

The parts listed here are the ones which are tested and compatible with your PC

So this is a 1x1 card, the 2x2 card is not tested

However, If you wish, you can try at your own risk

Keep me posted, how it goes!

Sorry for the late reply. Do you have any recommendations for what 2x2 cards I can test? Or I can test any cards? Thank you

@aimanyt finding a compatible wireless card could be a tedious task as you'll need to ensure the wireless card is supported by the motherboard among other components on your device, the easier workaround would be is to buy a USB 2x2 Wi-Fi dongle and plug it to one of the USB ports of the computer, then connect it to the Wi-Fi router (plug & play - no compatibility issues) to go online.  

This is a cost-effective and economical solution. You could order one from eBay or Amazon for a lot cheaper than an internal card.

You could also contact your local Best Buy or Staples store for doing it.
