Wi-Fi 7 or 6/6E

[David_Probook]

Hi. Can I use Wi-Fi 7 cards (like BE200HMW AX),

or at least Wi-Fi 6/6E (MPE-AX3000H, or MPE-AX1800H, MPE-AXE3000H)

with my HP probook 450 G1 laptop (bios L74, Ver. 01.50).

And is there still a limitation in the form of a white sheet in bios?

Hi:

You would need to get a card that was converted to the HMC form factor, because the standard cards of those types have the M.2 form factor and won't fit in your PC's Wi-Fi card slot.

You also have to make sure your notebook has two antenna wires to connect to the card.

Some cards in the HP 450 G1 may only use one antenna wire.

I do not believe the model series has a BIOS whitelist.

I installed an Intel AX210 HMC card in my less expensive HP 350 G1 which has an i3-4005U processor and it works great.

This is the form factor I am referring to.

I definitely have two antenna wires and everything is fine with the connectors. If you meant Mini PCI-E, then I have it too, However, your laptop was released much later than mine in 2017, and mine was only released until 2014, so I have serious doubts that the white list exists.

Mine was made in 2014 like yours, during the 47th week of the year according to the serial number on the bottom of the case.

The model series was released to market on March 1, 2014.

Upgrade the card or not, your choice.

Well, Thanks. I'll try to follow your example - to check - there's only one way) )

and I'll write anyway later

You're very welcome.

Looking forward to reading about the results.

I have a good feeling it will work.
