Wifi Card Replacement

[SF431]

Hi Team,

I want to Upgrade the Wifi card in the laptop as my current wifi card does not support the 5Gz. Could you please suggest me a replacement card for my wifi.

Thanks and regards

Hi:

Since your notebook only has one antenna wire connected to the Realtek RTL8723BE Wi-Fi card currently installed, you can upgrade to this model Wi-Fi card:

Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 ac 1x1 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter (MU-MIMO supported) HP part # L17365-005.

The card has a maximum throughput of 433 MBPS on the 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi band with an AC router and an excellent signal.

If you want to go through the work to add a second antenna wire, which would require ordering the dual antenna kit listed in chapter 3 of your notebook's service manual, completely disassembling the notebook including the display bezel to install it, you should be able to upgrade to this model Wi-Fi card:

Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 ax 2×2 + Bluetooth 5.0 MU-MIMO M.2 2230 non-vPro   HP part # / SPS #L35282-005

Below is the link to the service manual:

HP Notebook PC (Intel) * Models: 15-ay000 – 15-ay099 * Models: 15-ay100 – 15-ay199HP 250 G5 Notebook...
