LTE for Spectre X2

[Raibel]

Hi everyone,

I have a question related to replace the LTE wireless card on a Spectre X2. looking on the specs of my device (Spectre x2 12-a010nr) found that the WWAN module I have is :

- HP lt4114 LTE 4G Module (Spare part 761233-005)

I live in Germany, and the local card inserted is just showing the service provider name "o2-de" and it says: "No Service". Does it mean that the band the internet supplier uses isn't supported? I did a bit of research to find under which frecuencies does "o2-de" works and this is what I found:

4G LTE --> B20 (800 DD)

3G/HSPA+ UMTS--> B1 (2100)

2.5G GSM --> 1800 (DCS)

If so, What should I do to make it work? should I change the spare part to the HP lt4110 LTE/HSPA+ 4G Module (756993-005) using local HP support for the installation?

I appreciate your advice.

Have a nice day!

Hi All,

The answer to this problem is YES, exchanging the WWAN module HP lt4114 LTE 4G Module (Spare part 761233-005) that is factory installed by HP by the HP lt4110 LTE/HSPA+ 4G Module (756993-005)works, I do have now LTE wireless network.

Seems like the factory WWAN module is pretty limited to be used only by the Verizon LTE in US to just their bands. But this new part module includes a big range. I can now have internet everywhere, I'm very happy about it!

Hope this post help others to solve this problem.

Have a nice day!
