Wifi 5 to wifi 6 upgrade

[CDamian]

I have a HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop

Model: 17-cd0085cl

Product ID: 7DF95UA#ABA

My factory wifi adapter, as specified, is Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9560 160MHz (802.11ac 2 × 2 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth® 5 (non-vPro)). I have a wifi 6 router.

The best download speed I am able to get is ~560Mbps and ~40Mbps upload.

Can I upgrade my network adapter to get somewhere near 1Gbps or more? If so, any recommendations on a product I should be looking at?

Thanks,

Carl

Hi, Carl:

The Intel 9560 AC was the only model Wi-Fi card offered in the model series.

However, I see no reason why you wouldn't be able to upgrade to either one of these two cards:

Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 ax 2×2 + Bluetooth 5.0 MU-MIMO M.2 2230 non-vPro   HP part # / SPS #L35282-005

Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E 2x2 AX + Bluetooth 5.2 M.2 2230 non-vPro   HP part # / SPS # M27269-005

Below is the link to the service manual where you can find the Wi-Fi card removal and replacement procedure:
