Sorry, forgot to ask, how do I know if my HP Envy 15 J126TX needs a Wifi / BT Combo card with antenna or need 1 or 2 antenna?

 

Thanks.

Hi:

 

The Broadcom wifi card your notebook has requires two antennas, as does the Intel AX 200.

 

It should be a direct swap.

 

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook, where you can find the wifi adapter removal and replacement procedure.

Hi Paul, does that mean I can just buy one without internal antenna and re-use the original antenna?  Or I should buy 1 with antenna and change the card and antenna?

 

Sorry, this is my first time doing this.

 

Thanks again.

Hi:

 

You use the antennas that are currently attached to the Broadcom card.

 

What gdspd8 was saying is that the seller is out of the cards that come by themselves.

 

If you have to buy a wifi card that comes with an antenna kit, you don't need the antenna kit.

Hi, if your laptop have enough space for the M.2-PCIE adapter, you may wanna try AX210 (Wifi6E) M.2 card with this adapter in your laptop. I do not know will there be any significance drop in bandwidth as it goes through an conversion adaptor.

Hi Gdsp8,

 

I had ordered the AX200.  Think I will stay with the tested option which you had bought.

 

Thanks for the info.  Appreciate.  :-).
