Product: G6-2356er
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Hi everyone.

I want to find on aliexpress any cheap WiFi mini-PCIe module for my G6-2356er (2.4GHz + 5GHz + BT). I took one (Intel AC7260) it works normally, detected in the device manager, no errors, but unable to switch on the wireless network. I've tried all available drivers but nothing had happened. It seems like I need another one.

I can't find white list for my notebook in the web. And also I'm not sure if I want to upgrade BIOS firmware. Just simple buy one of the compatible ones.

Thank you.

Your machine was built around 2012 therefore the chance to upgrade is none.  Please use an adapter such as

There are many similar around and cheaper too
