Product: HP Pavilion notebook - 17-g047nd
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a HP Pavilion notebook - 17-g047nd with a RealTek PCIe FE Family network connection.

It only allows 10/100 Mbps but I would like to upgrade it to 10/100/1000 Mbps.

 

Is it possible to replace the RealTek PCIe FE Family (card?) or is it integrated on the main board?

Hi:

 

The ethernet is an integral part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded.

 

You can have gigabit ethernet capability by purchasing a USB to RJ-45 gigabit ethernet adapter, plug it into your notebook's USB 3 port and you should get close to a gigabit ethernet connection speed.
