HP Pavilion g6-1070ss Notebook PC
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello, I'd like to know of a model I can purchase to upgrade the built-in Wi-Fi card to a more modern dual-band Wi-Fi card with Bluetooth, or just dual-band Wi-Fi for notebook Pavilion g6

 

Regards.

Hi:

 

Unfortunately, since your notebook has a BIOS whitelist, you are limited to using the original card with the HP part number that came with your notebook.

 

If you want dual band Wi-Fi, you will have to use a dual band USB Wi-Fi adapter.

 

I don't see from the specs that your notebook came with Bluetooth.

 

This handy little dual band Wi-Fi adapter also has Bluetooth.

I use the above model in my HP 800 G3 desktop mini-PC which did not come with a Wi-Fi adapter.
