Hi:

The AX210 won't work in your notebook.

If you want an Intel card this is the only one that will work:

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

The parts list for this 15-ec2000 product number shows that HP offered this model as an option:

Here is a related discussion where someone installed the AX210 in a 15-ec2000 and it did not work.

The person actually tried a couple of different cards to no avail.

Thanks a lot for mentioning that sir. But when i search in HP part suffer for my exact product: 443M2PA ,  serial: 5CD149GDCX , the intel model one is not listed. And i see the person you mention have different product number than me which he had 2P6B5AV, while mine is 2P6B3AV. but maybe this doesnt matter?.

And if it doesnt matter, i found an intel ax200 model that has bluetooth 5.2 which probably is the newer version. Is it ok?

Really apreciate your help very much.

You're very welcome.

The Intel card with the part number I posted would work in any 15-ec2000 model.

The product number I posted indicates that either card was optional in that specific model.

That's how I found out that the AX200 would work because the service manual is only for the original 15-ec0xxx model series and the Intel card is not listed as supported but it does happen to work in the 15-ec0xxx and 15-ec1xxx model series.

You have to buy an Intel AX200 with the Intel L35282-005 SPS # on the white label on the front of the card.

That is the same number as the HP part number.

Another SPS number would denote a v-Pro model which will not work in any AMD notebook.

You must install the non-vPro version of the card.

Hello, its been about a week. my intel ax200 just arrived 2 days ago. Unfortunately, its not working. I've tried reinstalling drivers and even downgrading to windows 10. The network adapter in BIOS still have an exclamation mark. And when i install the intel driver it doesnt even show up in device manager. No matter what i try it still cant detect the wificard which supposedly means its not compatible with my pavilion gaming 15 ec2047ax.

Welp, guess i have to stick to the crappy realtek then..

Still, i appreciate your quick response in helping me and other people. You're very helpful to this community. Thank you!

You're very welcome. 

I'm shocked that the correct AX200 part number didn't work when it's listed as a supported card in the parts list.
