Hello,
I am in the process of upgrading my laptop memory and cpu. I’m considering an upgrade to the WiFi card. Are there any compatible cards that would provide dual band WiFi and Bluetooth? I would prefer to avoid additional USB dongles if at all possible.
Any help or advice you all may be able to provide would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hi:
Unfortunately, your notebook's model series has a BIOS whitelist which prevents any other internal wifi card from working other than the one that came with your notebook.
The BIOS whitelists were not removed until the g7-2200 model series was released to market.
They actually make a small size USB combination dual band wifi and bluetooth adapter.
