Hello i have a HP 240 G4 Laptop. The old Wifi Modules does not work properly anymore. So i changed it to an Intel AX210 NGW. The module works fine under Windows 10, tested it about 3 hours no Errors.
My only Problem is the incorrect Warning Message on Startup (Blocks Booting). Error 704 Wifi Modul is not supported.
How can i bypass this Error Message on Startup ?
Edit : After some Testing i realiced its only the Bluetooth Module which results in this error. But it works fine under windows too. As for now i dont use Bluetooth on this Laptop and the new Wifi Range and Speed is perfekt. (Deaktivated in the Bios Setting)
So if someone else wants to change his Wifi and does not use Blutooth i can confirmt this Module works perfekt.
Is it possible to activate Bluetooth in Windows even if its disabled in Bios after Windows started ?
Because Bluetooth works perfekt.
My trick to get it started for now is (Both enabled in Bios) is to start windows and inserting the module after windows is booted -> searching for new hardware. No Errors so the error message must be a fals positve.

Your machine was built around April 2015, probably it has a whitelist please update BIOS (year 2020) first. Hope that fixes the problem, otherwise you have to use the original list of wifi adapters

Hi Banhien, i already updated the Bios to the newest version. With the Intel AX210 NGW i get about 2500 Mbit/s up and down.
your Modules dont support Wifi 6E. And after looking at the adapters you posted i dont think they will fit.
