Is the Intel AC 9260 campatible with a HP PAVILION GAMING LAPTOP 15-CX0XXX

[Ari201]

Hi, 
Recently I purchased a pair of Sennheiser CX 6.00 BT, they use aptX Qualcomm / qualcomm aptX Low Latency, I was expecting not to have the same issue of loosing audio quality when In a call with this headset, but I happen I do, so after serching a lot in internet it is because the defoult bluetooth card of this laptop model don't support qualcomm, so the solution I found was chaning the Wifi/Bluetooth anthena.
I was think of a Intel AC 9260, but not sure if it is going to work with my laptop model or if it's going to solve the bluetooth issue.
If there is also any other recomendation will be nice to see it.

Thanks!

Hi:

What model wifi adapter does your notebook have in it now?

[Ari201]

Hi:

it's a 

Realtek Bluetooth 4.2 Adapter

Hardware ID:  USB\VID_0BDA&PID_B00B&REV_0110

Hi:

What model wifi adapter does your notebook have?

The RTL8822BE, the RTL8821CE, or the RTL8723DE?

The Intel card is only going to work if your notebook has the RTL8822BE, because the other two wifi cards only have one antenna cable.

The Intel card will require two antenna cables in order for the Bluetooth to work.

Hi: 

I have the Realtek RTL8822BE 802.11ac PCIe Adapter, 

So, looking at what you say I can use the Intel, but do u know if it's going to be able to use aptX codec ?

Unfortunately, that I don't know.

All I know is the card supports BT version 5.

Here are the complete specs on the wifi adapter...

If you decide to try the card, you will need to buy the non-vPro version.

If you think the AX200 has support for that blueooth feature, you can probably install that model as well, but again, it must be the non-vPro version.

AX200 specs:

This all assumes your notebook has an Intel processor.

Hi:

I have a Intel Core i5-8300H,  any other feature I need to check before buying this  ?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Sounds good.

Two antenna cables with the RTL8822BE and an Intel core processor...Nothing else I can think of to be concerned with.

I recommend you uninstall the Realtek wifi and bluetooth adapters in the device manager and check the uninstall driver box before installing a different model wifi card.
