Upgrade to WiFi 6 - HP Pavilion - 15-ec1009na

Hi, 

I am wanting to upgrade my HP Pavilion - 15-ec1009nato WiFi 6 but seem to be having trouble in finding an adaptor.
I currently have a RTL8822CE 802.11ac adaptor. I purchased this:

I installed it but the laptop does not recognise the adaptor. It will not show in device manager. The Bluetooth side of it worked but no wireless. I may have bought the incorrect card so could someone please advise what I need to look for?

Many thanks,
Simon Scott.

Hi, Simon:

The only Intel Wi-Fi 6 card you can try in your notebook that might work is this one, and I don't know of any other Wi-Fi card manufacturers that provide Wi-Fi 6E cards that work in notebooks with AMD processors.

Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 ax 2×2 + Bluetooth 5.0 MU-MIMO M.2 2230 non-vPro   HP part # L35282-005.

That is the same Wifi card that HP installed in my HP 15-ee0047nr which has an AMD Ryzen 5 4500U processor.

Hi Paul,

Many thanks for your reply.

That makes sense and I never thought that it would not work with AMD processors. 

Oh well, not to worry 😀

Thanks again,

Simon.
