How can I add Bluetooth to my HP pavilion g7 labtop model 2323-dx

Hi:

You have two options:

1. Replace the Atheros AR9485 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi adapter with this model Wi-Fi card which is also dual band and has Bluetooth:

Broadcom BCM943228HMB 802.11abgn 2×2 Wi-Fi Adapter, Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter HP part # 730668-001

You can find the above model Wi-Fi card on eBay. Search by the HP part number not the model of the Wi-Fi card.

2. Purchase a USB Bluetooth adapter.

Below is the link to the service manual, where you can find the Wi-Fi card removal and replacement procedure.

Thank you I appreciate it

You're very welcome.

The Broadcom card will also allow you to connect to the 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi band.
