Product: Elite Book 4780p -D2E04UP#ABA
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I bought this 4780p refurbished, but the wireless has never worked. I know I should have tested it during the support period, but I didn't. I did some research and it appears the wireless card should be replaced. Can an Intel Centrino Advanced-n 6205 be upgraded? Which would be the latest?
Thanks!

Hi:
Your model has the best card available.
Due to the BIOS whitelist your notebook has, installing a newer wifi card is not possible.
