Product: HP 250 G4
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Recently upgraded my laptop with a ssd and ram. Everything good but when i replaced the low band width broadcom wifi adapter with intel wireless 3160 AC, laptop does not detect it. No error is shown anywhere as well. I have updated bios to latest available version today. December 18, 2018. Still no fruit. Please help. Thanks

Hi:

 

The card is probably not supported.

 

A forum member recently installed this card, and reported it worked just fine...

 

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

 

This card works with only one antenna.

 

The only place I have been able to find this model is on eBay.

You're very welcome.

 

Unfortunately, none that I know of.

 

The card should have just shown up and worked if it was supported.

That's good news.

 

Glad the card worked in your model as I thought it would, since it worked on the other 250 G4.
