No bluetooth on HP Envy 17t-J100

[Borngreat]

Got a laptop as a gift (HP Envy 17t-J100) but discovered that there is no bluetooth hardware on the notebook. I checked the Wifi adapter and saw the Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11 bgn Wi-Fi Adapter installed. How can I have the bluetooth connection restored with a fast wifi connection as well?

Hi:

If there are two antennas connected to the RTL8188EE 802.11 bgn Wi-Fi Adapter, you can install either one of these two cards...

If you have or plan to get an AC router...

Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11 ac 2x2 WiFi + BT 4.0                HP Part #710661-001

If you only have a dual band wireless N router and don't plan on replacing it anytime soon...

Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260AN 802.11 a/b/g/n 2x2 WiFi + BT4.0   HP Part # 717381-001

Either card is readily available on Amazon or eBay.

Do your search by the HP part number, not the model of the wifi card.

Before installing the replacement wifi adapter, remove the Realtek wifi card and driver in the device manager prior to installing the Intel card.

You're very welcome.

Yes, that is the correct part number and form factor for the AC card.
