Hi @Albdy ,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand you want to upgrade the Wi-Fi card in your OMEN Laptop to a newer, more advanced one can indeed potentially improve your Wi-Fi performance, including reducing ping and disconnection issues. However, it's essential to ensure compatibility with your specific laptop model and operating system.

Regarding your OMEN Laptop - 15-en0600ng, it's important to note that Wi-Fi card compatibility can vary based on the laptop's hardware design and HP specifications. To determine if your laptop supports Wi-Fi 6E or other Wi-Fi card upgrades, you can follow these steps:

• Check HP Documentation: Visit the official HP support website or refer to your laptop's user manual to see if it provides information on compatible Wi-Fi card upgrades.
• Physical Compatibility: Ensure that the physical dimensions of the new Wi-Fi card match those of the existing one in your laptop. Some laptops have proprietary form factors that may limit compatibility.
• Driver Support: Confirm that drivers for the new Wi-Fi card are available for your operating system, in this case, Windows 11. Without proper drivers, the new card may not function correctly.
• Consideration of Wi-Fi Standards: While Wi-Fi 6E offers advanced features and potentially better performance, it's crucial to verify if your router also supports Wi-Fi 6E. If not, you may not experience the full benefits of the upgraded Wi-Fi card.
