The network adapter on my Omen 30L is providing spotty connection, and sometimes the app freezes up. I would like to upgrade the card and want to be sure to purchase the correct one. I searched the forum and saw replacement recommendations for laptops, but not PCs. Thank  you in advance for your help!

@TerriM123, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding Network Adapter Upgrade for OMEN 30L Desktop! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

For your OMEN 30L Desktop PC, you currently have a Realtek RTL8822CE Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) adapter which supports dual band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and Bluetooth 5 combo. If you're experiencing connectivity issues, you might consider upgrading to a more advanced Wi-Fi adapter.

Here are a few options that might provide a more stable and higher performance:

Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200:

• Transmission standards: 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6)
• Interface: PCIe or M.2
• Dual Band: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
• Bluetooth: 5.1
• Benefits: Higher data rate, improved efficiency, reduced congestion.

TP-Link Archer TX3000E:

• Transmission standards: 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6)
• Interface: PCIe
• Dual Band: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
• Bluetooth: 5.0
• Benefits: Next-gen speeds, advanced security, enhanced range.

Ensure that the adapter you choose is compatible with your motherboard's existing slots (PCIe or M.2). Recently released models are backwards compatible with older Wi-Fi standards, making them a good fit for most setups.

Installation Instructions

1. Turn off your PC and unplug it.
2. Open the case and locate the current wireless network adapter.
3. Remove the old adapter and insert the new one into the appropriate slot (PCIe or M.2).
4. Secure the adapter using the screws provided.
5. Close your case, plug back your PC, and turn it on.

These upgrades should significantly improve your network performance and resolve connectivity issues.
