Help replacing my WiFi/BT adapter

[EssKayKay1]

I’m having an intermittent problem with my Broadcom BCM94313HMGB WiFi adapter in my older HP Pavilion dv6t-c600 laptop.  I’d like to replace it with some other vendor’s adapter – probably an Intel card but any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  What vendor/card/model number would be compatible with my machine or the BCM94313HMGB card?

Thanks,

Steve K.

What is your machine actually ? HP Pavilion dv6t-c600 is not the right one. I think it is an HP Pavilion dv6t-6c00.

If yes, it is a 12 years old machine and with the whitelist the chance to upgrade to newer wifi card is none. You can use USB adapter such as

You can see much faster  when using it.

Yes, you are correct with my model # dv6t-c600 and it is quite old.   So there are no internal WiFi/BT adapters available for replacement?  That's too bad.  Maybe I could find a used one that would work.  Do you know of any older cards that I may consider?

I have been using an external USB  WiFi/BT adapter which works fine.  My issue is I am using this machine as part of an audio workstation recording studio.  I need numerous USB ports.   I have tried/connected numerous external USB hubs both powered and unpowered - some work OK others not at all.  I have a couple webcams connected as well as two audio interface devices which do not function perfectly when running through a hub but much better when connected directly to the laptop.  Replacing the internal WiFi adapter frees up one USB port which helps.

Thanks for you time and input - much appreciated.
