Replacement ethernet card

[Nico1958]

At this moment, I have an Ethernet network card of max. 100mb in my HP Pavilion 1703. Can I replace it with another card at a faster rate?

Welcome to the HP Forums 🙂 

I would like to take a moment and thank you for using this forum, it is a great place to find answers. 

As I understand you want to replace your Ethernet card,

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

What is the product number of your computer? The one you've mentioned is for your monitor!

(Ensure you do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc...).

While you respond to that, I must let you know that most, infact all Ethernet cards are integrated to your motherboard and therefore cannot be replaced individually, you may have to replace the entire motherboard to complete this task and hence, it could get rather expensive.

I suggest you go for an external USB adapter instead as it would be portable and cheaper.

And I hope that information, helps!

If the information I've provided was helpful,

that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!

Good Luck.

As you mentioned you need a replacement part number for the ethernet card.

Ethernet cards on laptops would be embedded to the system board and you have to replace the whole system board in order to upgrade the ethernet card.

However, if you are looking to upgrade the wireless cards on your PC. Please find the part number listed below.
