Product: HP EliteBook 8460p Notebook PC

We have upgraded to the Verizon Gigabit service at our new home but my laptop is still very slow due the Centrino wireless card that came standard in it in 2012. I would like to replace it but have noted in dicussions that a whitelist of approved parts exists.  Would anyone know which card that is capable of wifi6 would be approved as a replacement? Thanks so  much!

Hi:

 

Unfortunately, your notebook has a BIOS whitelist which prevents the installation of any other model wifi adapter than those listed in chapter 3 of your notebook's service manual and those had a maximum throughput of 300 MBPS if you have one of the Intel dual band Wi-Fi adapters.

There are no supported Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6 cards for your notebook.
