WIFI Adapter Upgrade (making sure)

[TW28]

Hi, I just wanted to ask a quick question regarding my laptop. Currently, I am considering upgrading the WIFI adapter for my Hp envy 15t-j000 Quad Edition notebook. I really want to add blutooth to it, because it came without it.  I did some research on my own, and found that I could upgrade it to a "Intel Wireless-AC 7260HMW Network Card Dual Band 802.11abgn+ac 2x2 Bluetooth 4.0."  Before I go out and buy anything, I just wanted reassurance that I am purchasing the right tool for the right job. Thanks in advance and have a pleasant day.

Hi:

This is the model and part number you want...

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

The card is readily available on Amazon or eBay.

Search by the HP part number, not the model of the wifi card.

Thank you so much! I'm now in the process of purchasing one off eBay. I'll make sure to get back in touch with you, once I get it and install it.

You're very welcome.

Yes, you can find them pretty cheap on eBay.

I got mine from China a couple of years ago.

I didn't mind the 2 week shipping time to the USA.

Now with the coronavirus, I might be leery of ordering something directly from China for a while.

Hey, just getting back in touch with you to let you know it just came in today. Went on ahead and installed it, and it works wonders. Again, thank you so much and stay safe.

Anytime.

Glad to have been of assistance.

Please stay safe and well too!

This too, shall pass.
