Product: HP ENVY dv7 Notebook PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have had issues connecting to the internet for years using the internal Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 card.  To get around it, I've been using wireless dongles.  I'd like to free up my USB port and the only way I can do that is to replace the 2230 card.  What is the recommended replacement card for it?  This laptop is 7 years old but still runs like a champ.  I need a card that fits, supports 5G and Miracast.

Hi:

 

What is the full model number of your notebook?

 

If it is a dv7-7xxx Intel model, then you can upgrade to this card...

 

Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11 ac 2x2 WiFi + BT 4.0            HP Part # 710661-001

 

The card is readily available on eBay or Amazon.


Search by the HP part number, not by the model number of the wireless card.
