Welcome to HP Support Forum

>>>   Broadcom BCM43142 802.11 bgn Wi-Fi M.2 Adapter

This adapter supports 2.4GHz networks only therefore you won't get 125mbps. You can use the following supported cards to get better spped

    ● Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + BT 4.0 Combo Adapter

    ● Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 802.11 ac 2x2 WiFi + BT 4.0 Combo Adapter (non vPRO)

>>> can i replce my hdd into sdd is it possible.,?  

Yes you can, there are many around. Please use 2.5" SSD from popular brands.

Hi, @Ram_44

The first thing you need to do is to open up your notebook and make sure that there are two wifi antenna cables connected to the Broadcom wifi card in there now.

You will most likely find that there is only one antenna cable.

You cannot upgrade to a dual band wifi card unless your notebook has two antenna cables present.

The max connnection speed of your current BCM wifi card is 72 MBPS, so 50 MBPS is not too bad considering.

If your notebook has two antenna cables present, and if you want the 7260 M.2 card instead of the 7265, that should be OK, but I can't guarantee it.

The 7265 is a newer card though.

You can get the drivers directly from Intel...

Hi
Okay i got it,.I think my laptop has 2 antennas black nd white wires,. Now a days in laptops having 2 antennas think so,. I bought it in 2015,. Anyway i found one wifi card in amazon
intel Authentic 7265NGW Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 802.11ac, Dual Band, 2x2 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.0*

But it has intel vpro supported but my laptop only intel i7 not vpro,. Can i use above mention wifi card.,? What about usb wireless card it’ll give same performance of inbuild wifi card.,?

Hi, Ram:

If the card you are looking at says for vPro only, then I don't think it will work in a consumer class notebook such as yours.

That card would go into a business class notebook.

Get the card that Banhien posted...right from your notebook's service manual.

Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 802.11 ac 2x2 WiFi + BT 4.0 Combo Adapter (non vPRO)    HP Part # 793840-005

Do your search by the HP part number, not the model of the wifi card.

You can probably find the card on Amazon or eBay.

But I really think you should physically check inside to make sure of the 2 antennas being there.

Around the time your notebook was made, HP decided that single band wifi cards only needed one antenna.

USB wireless...depends on the AC speed rating, and how good the antenna system is.  The best performing ones are going to stick out pretty far from your notebook's USB port.

The convenient nano size ones may not work as well, but you will hardly notice one is plugged in.
