Product: Zbook 17
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi all,

I would like some advise.

I own an older Zbook 17 (i7-4800) (https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03924504)

It's the first generation.

It still performs well, but I would like to upgrade the wifi/bluetooth adapter to a 
2974Mbps Wifi 6 Dual Band Draadloze Half Mini Pci-E Netwerk Wlan Wifi Kaart Bluetooth 5.0 802.11ax/Ac 2.4Ghz/5Ghz Adapter MU-MIMO

I know there is this whitelist issue preventing the use of arbitrary network cards.

Can anyone confirm that this is also the case for older Notebooks like my Zbook 17 (G1). Or is there some experience in upgrading network on such a Zbook?

 

regards,

Johan

Actually that notebook is new enough not to have a whitelist. You can replace with a wi-fi card having the same interface and form factor as the original.

Hi Huffer, 

Ok that's is good to hear. I will order myself an upgrade and give it a go. I'll report back the result in this forum.

Thank,
