Hi:

With AMD platforms there is no telling what Intel card may work.

IMHO, I would speculate that the only Intel card that would work in your notebook is the one currently installed.

Folks have tried to install the AX210 in many AMD platforms and it won't work.

Here's a person that tried an Intel AX210 in an 845 G7 with negative results:

Elitebook 845 G7 Wifi card - HP Support Community - 8875196

According to chapter 3 of the service manual, the AX200 was the best card HP offered in the model series.

The Intel AX 200 was also offered in the 845 G8:

The G9's offered the Qualcomm Fast Connect 6900 Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.2 M.2 2230 160 MHz PCI-e + USB worldwide (WW) WLAN module   HP part # M85448-001

The G10's offered the Mediatek and Realtek Wi-Fi 6e cards:

The G11's offered Mediatek and Realtek Wi-Fi 6E cards as well.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't know if the non-Intel Wi-Fi 6E cards would work in your notebook.

Given the difficulty of removing and reattaching those very thin and delicate antenna wires without breaking them, I'd leave well enough alone.

Hi @Yunikana 

Contribute on this topic.

As @Paul_Tikkanen says, it is better not to make wi-fi card changes and I add two more reasons.

The first are with windows 11 not windows 10

Intel® Killer™ Wi-Fi 6 AX1650-XW

Intel® Killer™ Wi-Fi 6 AX1650- IS

Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX200

It is compatible with windows 11 and windows 10

The second reason is ,for example, the AX1650 is sold with two System Interface Type:

Intel® Killer™ Wi-Fi 6 AX1650-XW

This is probably the one that can work with an AMD processor, it uses the same interface as the AX200.

The Intel® Killer™ Wi-Fi 6 AX1650- IS

Is very different because it uses an interface that is only present in Intel processors.

In my humble opinion , it is not easy to make the change to find a reliable seller, then it is better Paul's advice, do not make changes.

Thanks for the Reply , how about the AX1650 with PCIe ? does it work for my system ?

[Yunikana]

• thanks for the reply , as long as i got the same interface as AX200 in my system for AX1650 it will work ?

You're very welcome. 

Since I cannot find any discussions where anyone has successfully installed a better wifi card in that model notebook, all I can say is any other Intel card you try will be a complete experiment on your part with no guarantee it will work.

Hi,

It is very difficult to know as Paul says there is no evidence to show that it works. This is at your own risk. I can only provide you with information for your decision.

Example, in the following link there is a discussion on the subject.

Hi - What is (x/w) vs (i/s) Killer Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E : r/intel (reddit.com)

and  Amazon you can find the card
