Upgrade wireless card

[ttheill1]

Hi...

I have a number of HP pc's and I want to upgrade the WLAN card.

These are the models I have:

Elitebook 820 G3

Elitebook 820 G4

Elitebook 840 G3

Elitebook 850 G3

ZBook 15 G3

Can I use the Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX211 or Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX210 with them?

I also have a z230 SFF how can I upgrade that?

Regards,

Thomas

Hi, Thomas:

 You can't use a CNVI card such as the Intel AX211 because those only work in notebooks that they originally came with.

What Are the Intel® Integrated Connectivity (CNVi) and Companion...

However, either of these two Intel cards should work:

Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E 2x2 AX + Bluetooth 5.2 M.2 2230 non-vPro   HP part # M27269-005

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

For the z230 SFF (assuming it has no Wi-Fi at all), I recommend you use a low-profile PCIe x1 desktop Wi-Fi kit.

Something like this:

Amazon.com: Ubit AX210 WiFi 6E PCIe Wireless WiFi Card Up to 5400Mbps(6GHz/5GHz/2.4GHz),BT5.2,OFDMA,...

In order for the Bluetooth to work, you have to connect the Bluetooth cable that should come with the kit to the PC's internal 9-pin USB header.
