Hi Guys,

 

I'm looking to upgrade my wifi adapter on my HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15-n090sa  for a 5Ghz ac dualband card. It currently has an Atheros AR5B125 HP 670036-001 WiFi WLAN Half Mini PCI-E Card . 

 

I am aware of Bios whitelist issues but have been advised this should not be an issue as the Bios was updated to latest version (2017).  Can anyone please advise of a compatible 5Ghz card ,gigabit or AC ?  Thanks in advance

Hi:

 

Since your notebook has an AMD processor and chipset, your options are limited to one of these two cards, provided there are two antenna wires connected to the Atheros Wi-Fi card (which I believe there are).

 

Dual band AC:  Max throughput of 867 MBPS on the 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi band.

 

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

 

Dual band N:  Max throughput of 300 MBPS on the 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi band.

 

Broadcom BCM943228HMB 802.11 a/b/g/n 2x2 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.0 combo   HP part #730668-001

 

You should be able to find either of these cards on eBay.

 

Search by the HP part number, not the model of the Wi-Fi card.
