HP 348 G7 has a problem with intel ax201 card

[HMT_AAA]

Hi there,

I tried to replace wifi card on my HP 348 G7. The built-in card was Realtek RTL8822CE 802.11ac.

I bought an intel ax201 card and replaced the old one. But the card couldn't start properly. I got code 43 and 10(sometime) when check the Device Status. Then I have to re-install the Realtek and it's working.

I tried to uninstall the driver + device, installing latest driver from intel for ax201.

Do you know what was the problem here?
- My laptop isn't compatible with the card?

- The card was corrupt.

Hi:

The Intel AX201 is a CNVI card and you can only install one of those as a replacement if your notebook originally came with one.   

More info on CNVI Wi-Fi cards.  None of the ones on the list would work in your notebook.

What Are the Intel® Integrated Connectivity (CNVi) and Companion...

Since your notebook came with the Realtek RTL8822CE that is why the AX201 doesn't work even though HP indicates it is a supported card for your notebook according to the specs.

I recommend that you try this model card which I believe would work in your notebook:   

Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 ax 2×2 + Bluetooth 5.0 MU-MIMO M.2 2230 non-vPro   HP part #/SPS# L35282-005

Make sure you get a card that matches the HP part number/SPS number.

Thanks for your answer. I'll try to find that card

You're very welcome.

Please post back and let us know if the AX200 non-vPro worked in your notebook.
