RTL8723BE adapter

Hello! I have a question regarding my current network adapter, which is a RealTek RTL8723BE driver. I would like change my adapter to a 5ghz adapter. I would also like some advice on how to disassemble my HP Notebook.

Thank you for posting on HP Forums,

The Riddle_Decipher is at your service.

I understand you want to upgrade your wireless card to 5ghz and need details about the same,

I'll be glad to help you out, however, for an accurate solution I will need more information:

What is the product number of your device? Use this link to find it: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_2039298-1862169-16

(Ensure you do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc...as the one you've mentioned isn't accurate considering, I can't get any details using it).

Have you checked your service manual or user guide for information?

In the meantime, I would like to let you know that most motherboards do not support anything above 2.4ghz if that's what was shipped along with the computer, although, to be certain I will need your product's model name or number.

Alternatively, you can also go for a USB wireless adapter that supports 5ghz (cheap & handy without the hassle of removing or replacing internal parts).

Please reply with the details for further assistance.

Eager to help!
