Hi! I want to upgrade my HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC Wifi Card from a single band to a dual-band 2.4 / 5 GHz. Please help me to know what specific wifi card is compatible with it? Thanks.

Hi:

 

What model dv6 notebook do you have?

 

If it is a dv6-6xxx you cannot upgrade the Wi-Fi card because there is a BIOS whitelist that blocks the installation of any other Wi-Fi card from working.

 

If it is a dv6-7200 or 7300 with an Intel processor, you can upgrade to this dual band AC card with Bluetooth:

 

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

 

You can usually find the above model wifi card on eBay.  Search by the HP part number, not the model of the wifi card.
