HP Recommended
Product: HP Envy DV7-7305eo
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello Everyone,

I own one of the olde beasts from HP, the HP Envy DV7-7305eo, which is still serving me best. I have never had any issues with this notebook, except for the overheating. However, I look forward to upgrading its builtin wifi module Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (SPS: 670290-001) with a newer and faster wifi module, ideally with a dual-band Wifi-Bluetooth combo with AC support. I have already consulted the DV7 service and maintenance manual for replacement cards, but I couldn't find a part number for a suitable dual-band wifi module.

 

I have also come to know the "BIOS whitelisting thing", which is kind of frightening 😉

 

Can anyone please suggest a good module that has dual-band Wifi-Bluetooth combo with AC support for my machine (e.g. Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11 ac 2x2 WiFi + BT 4.0, Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260AN 802.11 a/b/g/n 2x2 WiFi + BT4.0 or similar), and which is also supported by my BIOS (Whitelist)?

 

Thank you for your time and support in advance.
