• Pavilion 500-189: usefulness of adding additional memory to a computer desktop Pavilion 500-189

  Hi - I think adding memory RAM additional to my desktop HP Pavilion computer model 500-189, bought in February 2014. It runs under Windows 10 home ed., 64 bit with RAM total to 10 GB. The computer has 4 memory slots and currently only 2 are used: slot 1 has a card 2 GB Hynix/Hyundai 1600 MHz and slot 2 has a card 8 GB Kingston 1600 MHz.

  I'm currently pondering adding a single 4 GB DDR3 1600 MT/s PC3-12800 CL11 map of 240 pin unbuffered UDIMM in each of the last two slots to bring the memory total amount up to 18 GB. The total cost would be less than US $40.

  My question: This inexpensive upgrade will not improve the performance of my computer or is - this exaggeration only change?

  Comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Graphene, welcome to the forum.

  Now, we are dealing here with reviews.  The sweet spot for memory seems to be 8 GB with Win 10.  In fact, I read that you will be hard to see a difference between 8 and 16 GB.  I use a laptop of Omen HP with 8 GB memory game.  It manages all the games that I played very well.  As you said, you already have 10 GB of memory and the processor is very fast.

  Yet once, is discussed in the opinion.  In my opinion, the best upgrade that can be done today is an SSD.  My HP Omen loads games and programs incredibly quick and starts in 7 seconds or less.  I used a Samsung EVO 840 500 GB SSD in HP Phoenix Gaming desktop computer.  Again, it was incredibly fast.  Here is the SSDthat are recommended by Crucial memory.  They make great products for OEM computers.  I found the research that Samsung SSD seem to work better with HP motherboards and normally don't require changes to the BIOS works properly out of the box.   In addition, Samsung has its own Migration of data and Software Wizard software to fine-tune the SSD after installation.

  This should give you pause.  If you decide to go with an SSD, I'd be happy to tell you how I did the installation.  It has worked well for me.

• Can I add a mini WiFi card in my L10 Pro Sat?

  My L10 is equipped with no internal wifi card, but the motherboard has a jack for it. The wifi on the front switch is blocked and the keyboard shortcut key is not configured.
  If a card has been added to the quick access key can be configured to be a power

  Hello

  AFAIK, you can upgrade the device with the wifi mini card PCI card. The Fn keys should also work and should enable the antenna with the FN + F8 key combination.
  I also found the usefulness of the shortcut key and a wireless driver for this unit on the Toshiba page.

• Should I have a WiFi card installed?

  I googled this to death and had an email back & forth with HP support and I'm still not the wisest. I hope someone can help with a definitive answer.

  I have a desktop PC HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 170 bought in Australia. The product say that there a "wireless card 802.11 b/g/n Mini PCI-Express half-length" installed.

  When I go to control panel > DeviceManager > network adapters, the present one is a 'Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller.

  If I try to download/install the driver for the wireless card I get the error message "your system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update. Update has been canceled. (9996).

  I'm not that familiar with that sort of thing, but all this does not seem to suggest that I don't have a WiFi card installed?

  I have to pull the sides the computer turned off and physically take a look? If so, where exactly?

  Hello:

  If you do not see the model of network card wireless list in addition to the wired Realtek card, it could be one of 3 things...

  1. you are correct and either HP forgot to install the card, or the card is incoreect.

  2. If you see a device listed as a network controller listed in the other devices category in Device Manager, then the wireless card is present and the drivers must be installed.

  3. the wireless card is installed but is defective as DOA, or PCIe x 1 adapter that holds the card to the motherboard is loose and has a bad connection.

  Here is the link to the service manual for your PC.  I have not your model, so I have no idea where to find other than to tell you that the wireless card will have a wire antenna plugged on it and it will be mounted in one of the small slots PCIe x 1 on the motherboard via a larger map.

• Replacing the WIFI card

  I have a Compaq NC6120 running XP I want to upgrade to Windows 7, but my WIRELESS card is not supported. If Im trying to find a WIFI card that works in my Compaq NC6120 with Windows 7 so I can connect wireless to my HP Pavilion Desktop which is running Windows 7.

  Any ideas?

  Hello:

  Not only the wifi card is not supported, but none are fully supported video card.

  I can send you the link to a driver that will allow you to change the resolution of the screen and have the graphics acceleration, but you don't have Windows Aero on a nc6120.

  I looked the cards available for your laptop supported in the maintenance manual wireless and chose this card as being compatible with Windows 7:

  Hewlett Packard Part # 381582-001 Intel 802.11 B/G WM3B2200BG.

  The card must have the HP part on that number or your laptop does not start even upward except if the unsupported card is removed.

  Best bet is to get a used but tested and functional condition on eBay. Search for the part number.

  This is the cheapest I could find.

• After a clean install of Windows Vista, Intel Wifi card is installed and activated, but does not detect the network.

  Wireless card not working after a clean install of Windows Vista

  I did a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium on my HP Pavilion of 32 bits. I've completely updated Windows via Service Pack 2. Given that the clean install, my wireless card, Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, was not able to detect all the networks. The Wifi card is listed under NICs as being installed and activated. the hardware on my laptop Wifi switch is set on "on" and the light is blue, indicating that the card is working.

  I can connect to the internet if I connect physically my computer to the modem with an ethernet cable wireless, so the modem isn't the problem. Other computers can connect to the wireless modem, so my Wifi modem functionality is not the problem. The problem with my computer.

  I tried to uninstall the Intel driver and reboot my computer with the generic driver. Install the driver generic, but my wireless card has not always worked. I then ran an update of windows, nothing helps.

  I tried to install the "Intel® PRO /? Wireless and WiFi Link"drivers for Windows Vista (32-bit 13.1.1.1 the latest version and the previous version 12.4.4.5 32-bit) for the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN directly from the Intel Web site at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+WiFi+Products&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Wireless+WiFi+Link+4965AGN. The map didn't always work with a driver.

  In addition to the pilots, I also downloaded a tool of diagnosis of Intel (Intel® PROSet /?) Utility of WiFi wireless connection for Windows Vista 32 -? Bit). Said diagnostic tool the WiFi card is not installed or enabled, however, Device Manager maintains that he is also installed and active.

  Is there a problem that causes Device Manager to say that all is well with the card, but does not map to realize that they diminish the radio signals? Everything's fine, diagnostic, it just does not detect networks around him. Help, please.

  Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

  Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write

  Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

• Someone else has an iPhone 6 with a faulty wifi card?

  I had problems with the wifi connection on my iPhone 6 during some time now. The phone constantly drops the connection wifi, carries a low when connected connection and force me to be right next to the router in order to make a connection. I first contacted apple to this topic on December 2015 (2 months after my 1 year warranty) they got to toggle flight mode, toggle the wifi button, reset the network settings, reset the phone completely back to factory settings... I did everything several times and the problem is still there.  I was told by a couple of reps on the phone to take the phone to an Apple Store and ask them to help me... So I took the 2-hour drive to the Apple store nearest to say that the phone has a faulty wifi card and it is not repairable. He said the phone had to be replaced, but I was out of the warranty period and I have to pay $299.00 more taxes for a replacement...

  Does anyone else have this problem? I'm quite shocked that apple refuses to fix it which is at their end in the form of a defective unit. I understand that it is out of warranty, but it is a problem of manufacturig. These phone cost US $300 more our old phone. I am not able to drop $300 + on a new phone that I feel that apple should be responsible. I have been looking online similar questions and have not yet find something.

  Millions of this model were sold. It is likely that someone else has had a problem with their WiFi card.

  I think you don't understand quite what than a guarantee. It covers all defects or failures of discovered components during the warranty period. If the phone has a two year warranty (as it would have if you had paid for AppleCare +) you would still be covered. But, if the WiFi card failed after 26 months, it would not be covered. As you are now about six months outside of your warranty, I don't know why you would expect Apple to cover a problem that you don't yet report to them until after that the guarantee was already more. You just wait for Apple to cover the failure of a component for as long as you have the phone?

• Satellite P850 - new WIFI card cannot be turned on

  I have a Satellite P850 with i7cpu and 16 GB of ram running win 7 Home premium.

  The wifi card seems to abandon and that it is a realtek, without the support of their site, not even the drivers. I decided to exchange the and installed an Intel centrino advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 dual band mini wifi card that I finally got all the drivers installed, but the diagnosis intel continues to ask the mechanical switch for wifi. I tried F12 and FN keys, but nothing happens.

  Any ideas on how to get this on?

  In my opinion, there is compatibility problem. These upgrades or equipment Exchange is not supported. Laptop computers are offered with the specific hardware platform and Toshiba tools and utilities are designed for certain hardware platform.

  Sorry, but I think that there is nothing you can do about it.
  Replacement with the same card is not problematic.

• HP ENVY laptop - 13-d045tu: BCM43142 change on Envy 13 wifi card

  My laptop is currently using

  Combination 792608-005 BCM43142 of Broadcom 802.11 wireless network adapter b/g/n 1 x 1 Wi - Fi and BluteTooth 4.0 m2

  There is problem of BOUNCING on Windows 10 wifi connectivity so I change to another card and at the same time offering an AC 5 GHz connectivity.

  One of the options I'm considering is Intel AC 7265 (HP part no 793840-005) that comes standard in the variant of other Envy 13 sold elsewhere.

  Newer that I am wanting to NGFF Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 (8260NGW)is another model.

  Can anyone tell if there are fears white list on the question if these cards above would work on my laptop?

  Should I get the AC7265, I get the part specific HP itself or the Intel will do?

  Thanks in advance guys!

  Hugo

  You can safely assume that any HP laptop with a 4th generation Intel Core processor or newer has no whitelist wireless and yours is 6th generation if you are safely beyond the question of the white list. However, the real problem comes another question HP Wireless: the single antenna module, which is now installed in most HP laptops. Most of the 1 x 1 b/g/n modules have only a single antenna that makes it impossible to get to something that works in the 5 GHz band.

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See p. 31. The manual shows 2 antennas and I hope that's right but the only way to be sure is to open and just look. If you see a single antenna wireless, I shut up and look for a usb dongle that is compatible with 802.11ac. Or prepare for a complete teardown add a second antenna.

  The AC 7265 is good enough, if you have two antennas to support.

  You also might as well get the variant of HP that HP has a big enough market share that are still lacking these autour and they do not cost more:

• Envy 15-j104el: updated NETWORK WiFi card and RAM update

  Goodmorning to everyone

  I write this post to ask for information on the possibility to do an upgrade of hardware on my HP Envy 15-j104elsystem.

  That's what I would do:

  -Replace the network card (NIC) to a wireless better and possibly with a compatible AC NIC.

  -Update to 16 GB of ram, put benches with CL9 SODIMM

  The questions that I want to bring to your attention are:

  -There is a 'white list' for the wifi card on my BIOS (actually F66)?
  (consultation with the service manual there are little NIC OEM selled, y at - it ONLY compatible?)

  -Put the sticks of ram CL9 (instead of CL11 currently OEM mounted), I can inprove the overall performance?

  I want to install are:

  -Intel Wireless-AC 7260 more Bluethoot HMC 4.0

  
  -Kingston HyperX Impact DDR3L 16 GB (2x8gb) SODIMM 1600 Mhz CL9 (Kit)

  According to your experiences, is it compatible? I can buy them without any problem?

  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me. Thanks for your suggestions

  In particular, I take this opportunity to greet and also need the help of my friend @visruth ;)

  1. no whitelist. Your laptop was conducted after HP stopped using a white list so that you can install any card with the right form factor and the number of antennas. The Intel 7260 card should work.

  2. you can install the CL9 memory but it will not do anything all run faster. The motherboard is made to operate at the speed of the OEM memory so the Kingston Hyper-X will work, but the specifications of it in operation will be the same as memory OEM.

  I recently had to reinstall windows vista (32 bit) on this Satellite L30, all other disks installed correctly, apart from the internal wifi driver, I tried loads of different on the toshiba site, and none of them invite the wifi card to operate. \like as I say, the card does not appear in Device Manager or when I run everest, but assured me that this particular model has built in wifi and Yes, I have the switch on the front running.

  any ideas?

  Did you buy this laptop as used a brand new?
  Wireless network card is built in or not?
  Remove the bottom WIFI coverage and check if the wireless card is inside.

  If the wireless card is inside and you can not install the situation should be clear. What do you think about this?

• Satellite A100 - Upgrade Intel for 5300AGN Intel 3945ABG WIFI card

  Hi all

  I own a satellite A100-383 PSAARE. I want to upgrade the wifi card, like the one it is installed right now (PRO/Wireless 3945ABG), does not all the speed, the line can achieve (100 MB to the bottom). Anyone know if the map intel 5300 AGN is compatible with my laptop. If not I would appreciate a lot of suggestions.

  Thank you

  Don t think that someone can give you an appropriate response since the compatibility depends on the BIOS
  If the BIOS would be compatible with the new WLan card, then you can use it for you

  The point is that motherboards is able to manage the cards WLan miniPCI module is just plugged the miniPCI slot and its removable
  So there is just one question about BIOS support and I m afraid you will need to test this at your peril
