Replacing the WIFI module on the laptop

[Konstyan_75]

Good day! On my laptop, "HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC", serial number "[edit]", product number "E1T82EA # ACB", the wifi module "Intel (R) Centrino (R) Wireless-N 2230" is installed. My question is, I want to replace this single-band module with a dual-band module with a frequency of 5 GHz, could you write which models of the wi-fi module are supported by my laptop. Thank.

Hi:

For your model, you can replace the Intel 2230 with this one...

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, and doesn't cost much at all.

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

Thank you very much Paul!
Another question on this topic. My husband has a HP laptop Pavilion DV6-7172er, is there a replacement for this laptop? Initially, exactly the same WIFI module is installed in it ...
Thank you in advance!!!

You're very welcome.

Yes, you can replace the 2230 card in the DV6-7172er with the same 7260 AC card as I posted above.
