Hello, can I replace the current wifi card broadcom bcm43142 (PCI-E Mini) with one antenna on laptop hp pavilion 15 p053eu with a new intel dual band ac 7260(PCI-E Mini). Is it compatible and which and up to how many features can I use.

Hi:

 

The Intel 7260 requires two antenna wires in order for both the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to work properly.

 

With one antenna wire, you would connect the single antenna to the Intel 7260's 'Main' antenna terminal for the best Wi-Fi reception.

 

It is unlikely that the Bluetooth will work since I believe that needs the auxiliary antenna wire.
