You're very welcome.

 

There should be no BIOS whitelist in that model series.

 

The Intel card is better because it has newer driver support than the BCM94352HMB. 

 

There are no newer BCM drivers beyond 2016, and the Intel drivers are from late 2018.

 

You will have to exactly duplicate the installation of the same antenna the same way, but run the cable on the opposite side of where the current wifi antenna is located.

 

This will require the complete dissassembly of the notebook including the display panel area to properly route the second antenna.

 

Here is the link to the service manual, the antenna installation procedure and antenna part number can be found in chapter 6.

 

I don't know which of the two kits you need.  They both state Pavilion 17.

If you are determined to buy the BCM94352HMB, then get this one...

 

Broadcom BCM4352 802.11ac 2x2 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.0 combo   HP Part # 724935-001

Hi:

 

If you want to go through the trouble of installing a second antenna/transceiver cable, then you can upgrade to this card...

 

Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11 ac 2x2 WiFi + BT 4.0    HP Part # 710661-001

 

The card is readily available on eBay or Amazon, and doesn't cost  much at all.

 

Do your search by the HP part number, not by the model number of the wireless card.

Thank you for the answer, but i want to install another card (Broadcom BCM94352HMB) and i need to know if my notebook has whitelist. The antenna needs to be installed in the notebook lid or it can be installed in other part?
