I didn't realised when I purchased the HP 13-U113TU 13" i5 W10 Notebook, it only had a 802.11b/g/n wireless adapter.
Would I be able to upgrade it to a 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac wireless adapter? I think its a bit out-dated for a notebook to come with only a 802.11 b/g/n wireless adapter.

Greetings @Alan_Ang,
Welcome to HP Forums and Thanks for the post.
I understand that you are looking to upgrade the wireless card on your computer. I would like to provide my suggestion.
Based on the specifications of your computer, the computer comes with an 802.11b/g/n (1x1) and Bluetooth® 4.0 combo (Miracast compatible) wireless adapter installed.
For the procedure to replace the wireless card, please refer to this article.

Hi @Chimney_83,
Thank you for your prompt reply. Base on the compatible parts listing, it still doesn't provide me the option to upgrade or change to a 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac wireless adapter. Looks like the only choice would be to purchase or use an external USB wireless adapter.
I find it weird that the newer HP notebook (some models) does not even come equipped with a 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac wireless adapter when todays technology are moving towards faster wireless network speed.
Regards,

I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP.
They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number.
Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact.
Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forum.
