Hi:

 

You can try this card that I installed in my HP 350 G1 notebook that used to have an Intel 7260 AC Wi-Fi adapter.

 

Amazon.com: WiFi 6E Half Mini PCI-E WiFi Network Card 802.11AX AC MPE-AXE3000H 2.4GHz 5GHz 6GHz 5400...

 

Worked fine in my notebook which has an Intel i3-4005U processor.

 

I'm not sure what that metal plate they include with the card is for.

 

I just swapped out the Intel 7260 with the AX210.

 

Below is the link to the service manual:

Thanks Paul I have been debating on which would work best. I ordered the card you suggested. I have the HP Envy  TouchSmart 17 inch intel i7 processor.  Where do I download the drivers for the Wifi card? 

HP Recommended

You're very welcome.

 

Windows should automatically install the drivers.

 

It did on my notebook which has been running on W11 for 3 years now.

 

You can download and install the latest Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers directly from the Intel website.

 

Intel® Wireless Wi-Fi Drivers for Windows® 10 and Windows 11*

 

Intel® Wireless Bluetooth® Drivers for Windows® 10 and Windows 11*

 

For best results, when you get the new card, uninstall both the Intel 7260AC Wi-Fi adapter and Bluetooth adapter in the device manager.

 

Also check the uninstall driver box.

 

If there is Intel Bluetooth software in the Windows control panel>programs, uninstall that too.

 

Then shut down the PC, remove it from A/C power, remove the battery and install the Intel AX210.

 

Please post back and let us know how your notebook's Wi-Fi card upgrade project went.

Paul_Tikkanen Thanks I was hoping it would be intel drivers.  I  copied your directions for installing the new card.  Should be receiving it Sunday from Amazon. Once I get it I will download drivers for both wifi/BT to laptop desktop. Then follow your instructions.

Hopefully it will go smoothly.  I will update you.  Again thanks for your assistance. I hope you had a Great Thanksgiving. Have a good Evening if you are Eastern Standard. 

 

HP Recommended

Anytime. 

 

Glad to have been of assistance. 

 

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving Day too!

 

Have a nice evening. 

 

Sunset here in SW Illinois.

Yeah had a Great Thanksgiving  Thanks. looks like were 1 hour ahead of you here in NC. Good Evening.

Paul_Tikkanen Good Evening as requested I wanted to inform you that I  received the card on Sunday downloaded the latest drivers for card and BT. Installed the card as you suggested and rebooted the system. Everything appears to be working fine. Have notice a drastic increase in speed. Bluetooth is working great.  Just one question in my devices displayed on my Orbi 853 router mesh system shouldn't the laptop be displayed as being on the 6ghz band rather than the 5ghz band?

HP Recommended

Good evening:

 

That's great news.

 

If your router is a Wi-Fi 6E router, the card should show up on the 6.0 GHz band according to the product specs.

 

Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX210

 

According to the specs for your router, it is only Wi-Fi 6.

Yes Everything you researched is what I have. Orbi mesh system and wifi card. In my Laptop wifi configuration is shows the card shows Wifi 6  connection speed rate 1201 mbps. WPA3.  But in my orbi router wireless configuration it shows 5 not sure why. But speed has increased.
