Wifi card upgrade

[Ricktulu]

Hello, 

I'm looking for a wifi card update for my HP Pavilion 15-au104np.

Wich card do you recommend that will properly work in my specific laptop?

Thank you

Hi:

Since your notebook only comes with a single band Wi-Fi adapter, it only has one Wi-Fi antenna wire.

The only dual band card that will work properly in your notebook with one antenna wire is this one:

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

Below is the link to the service manual:

thank you.

does it allow me to connect to botk 2.4g and 5g?

You're very welcome.

Yes that model card is a dual band card that works on both the 2.4 and 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi bands.

It has a maximum throughput of 433 MBPS when there is an excellent signal strength on the 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi band.

I doubt it will ever reach that speed but it should do well over 100 MBPS.

thank you very much for your help!

You're very welcome.

Yes, it will work on both bands.
