Wifi Card Replace

[Laslego]

Hello,

I am using HP Pavilion 15-p210nt Notebook (Wi-Fi Adapter: Broadcom BCM43142 802. 11 bgn  )  and I want to replace wifi card. It has a wifi 4 card with 2 antennas. Can I replace any wifi with 5 or 6 cards, does the brand matter? I want to buy a card that has Bluetooth 5 feature and can connect to 5 ghz wifi networks. Which wifi card can I replace with?

Hi:

The product specs for your notebook indicate that it comes with an Intel Core i5-5200U processor.

If there are two antenna wires connected to the Broadcom card, you can upgrade to this model card:

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

There are Wi-Fi 6 cards available that have the HMC form factor your PC uses, but since they are not original cards from Intel, I don't know if they would work.  You can try if you don't mind losing money if it doesn't.

The BT should be at least 5.0.  One of the reviewers indicated that it was BT 5.2.

Thank you very much.

The wifi 5 on the intel AC 7260 is more than enough for me but the bluetooth 4 is currently used and it's very bad. I found this product is it compatible MPE-AXE3000H.

Is there any compatible product that has both bluetooth 5 and wifi 5 features?

You're very welcome.

My same comments apply like they did to the Intel AX 200 HMC card.

It should work, but I cannot 100% guarantee it.

The only card that I know will work is the Intel 7260 with the BT 4.0.
