I want to replace my Centrino N-2230 wireless card to an Wireless-AC card but have seen that some cards do not work with HP Laptops.  I believe I have an Intel i7 processor and chipset.  Is there a "whitelist" of acceptable updgraded wireless cards?

Hi:

 

There shouldn't be any whitelist in your model, and I recommend you install the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11 ac 2x2 WiFi + BT 4.0     HP Part # 710661-001.

 

Your notebook should have two antennas connected to the Intel 2230 wlan card in there now.

 

That is a must if you plan on upgrading the wireless card, so check to make sure there are currently two antenna leads attached to the wireless card.  Do not rely on the service manual's illustrations for that.
