G7-2243us
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I'm working on a HP Pavilion G7-2243us
Wifi speeds too slow. Current wifi adapter is quite outdated.
G7 specs...
Product: B5Z58UA#ABA

Serial: [personal info removed]
AMD-4500m

Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 wifi adapter

This wifi card appears to be single band with a maximum speed of 150 mbps and no bluetooth

I'd like to install dual band wifi card and give this G7 a significant speed boost.

Greatly appreciate if anyone out there give me some recommendations and links to a compatible wifi network card to this G7-2243us

No dual band Wi-Fi cards were offered in the g7-22xx model series.

 

If you want to experiment with a dual band card, this would be the best one you could try:

 

Broadcom BCM4352 802.11ac 2x2 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.0 combo  HP part # 724935-001

 

It should have a decent chance of working.

 

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