HP 250 G3 Laptop, alternative WIFI card to receive 5GHZ

[Rindmann]

Hello community,

I own an HP 250 G3 J4T67EA Business Notebook with an Intel Core i3-4005U. The wifi card is a ralink rt3290le, which only supports wifi up to 2.4 GHZ.

Is there any exchangable wifi module which works with my laptop that supports wifi with 5 GHZ?

Thanks in advance and kind regards,

Robert

Hi:

If your notebook currently has two antennas connected to the Ralink wireless card, then either of these two cards should work...

Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260AN 802.11 a/b/g/n 2x2 WiFi + BT4.0    HP Part # 717381-001

You can even opt for the AC version if you have, or plan to get an AC router...

Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11 ac 2x2 WiFi + BT 4.0                  HP Part # 710661-001

Do your search by the HP part number, not the model of the card.  Should be readily obtainable on eBay or Amazon.

Both cards are fully supported for W10.

Thx for your reply Paul! 🙂

How can i find out if I have 2 antennas connected?

Oh, and my router supports AC 🙂

You're very welcome.

You'll have to open up the notebook to check.

I think the Ralink card your notebook has does have two antennas attached to it, but I am not 100% sure.

If it only has one antenna, a dual band wlan card won't work right.

Here's the service manual...see chapter 6, starting on page 55 for the wireless card removal and replacement procedures.
