HP Notebook - 15-dw1010la
Microsoft Windows 11

Hello!

 

I need to increase the capacity for Dual Band in my WIFI CArd.  i see in some stores  offers the AX200NGW look's good. BUT the famous  'WHITELIST Ghost ' in the Bios COnfiguration, scare me.  and the other issue is the number of antenas to connect.  May be in my Laptop there is 2 about it, but one is the Blueetoth conection and the other maybe is the 2.4 Ghz Wifi card.  if i want DUAL Band i can see that is a problem.  What i can do? i dont want to lose My BT connection and i need Dual Band and a have not money now to Change my Laptop.

 

Thankou.

Hi:

 

Your notebook has a dual band AC Wi-Fi card.  Is it not working on the 5.0 GHz wifi band?  It should be.

Unfortunately, your notebook only has one Wi-Fi antenna wire connected to the Realtek RTL8821CE Wi-Fi adapter your notebook came with.

 

The Intel AX200 non-vPro Wi-Fi adapter would require two antenna wires to be connected to it, which your notebook does not have.

 

Adding a second antenna wire would require complete disassembly of the notebook including the display panel area to run the second antenna wire, assuming you could find the right part you need.

 

It would not be worth the trouble to upgrade the Wi-Fi adapter in your notebook.

 

Below is the link to the service manual which will show you the difficulty in undertaking such a project...

 

HP does not have the updated manual for the 15-dw1xxx model series.  This one is for the older 15-dw0xxx model series.
