UPgrade network card and wifi 6 hp pavillion

[HunterCrema]

Good night.
I have an HP Pavillion 15-ak002la and I would like to upgrade the network and Wi-Fi card to be able to connect to a Wi-Fi 6 network.
What model should I look for?
I'm from Lima, Perú

Your machine is around 9 years old now with a single antenna therefore you can use the following list

• Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi Adapter part #  792609-005
• Realtek RTL8723BE 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi + BT4.0 Combo Adapter  part # 792610-005
• Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + BT 4.0 Combo Adapter  part # 806723-005
  
  

The last one supports 5GHz networks.

Regards.

Hi, @HunterCrema 

You should be able to upgrade to this model Wi-Fi 6 card since your notebook has two antenna wires connected to the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 Wi-Fi adapter your notebook comes with, according to the parts list.
