Aspire 6930 update hardware wireless card?

Please indicate on what wireless card I should buy an upgrade? Reason and detail as follows:

I'm happy with my 6930 but my ISP has indicated that my WiFi (Intel(r) wifi Link 5100 AGN) card is not suitable to receive the wireless download 100mbs (although the specification of 5100 seems to advise that it is capable of "n" standard).

I am a resident using the Virgin Media Internet service provider, which has just improved my download speed broadband 60mbs to 100mbs to the United Kingdom. My PC is an Acer Aspire 6930 Lap Top - running Windows 8.1 64 - bit adapter card Intel(r) wifi Link 5100 AGN.

On ethernet I get the full 100mbs, but the wireless receive only 60mbs (exactly the same as before the upgrade)!

Virgin support staff have reviewed my system and concluded that the wireless card is the problem remotely. Have you contacted support Intel who advise I have contact Acer support for details of what card I need?

So my question is "what card to buy?

Hi Jack

A result I think - all kinds!

Your link provided was an older driver than I was using already, but it prompted me to search the site of Intel once again and see if there was something else.

I found the following:

https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?AGR=Y&ProdId=3062&DwnldID=23492&ProductFamily=wire...

This seems to work much better and speedtest.net confirms that I read now about 75mbs - not quite the 100mbs on ethernet, but a significant improvement.

I'll stick with that for now.

Please accept my grateful thanks for your time, expertise and patience on this one - you're a star.

Kind regards

David

    My new hp laptop does not pick up my wifi of 5g, I was wondering if someone could give me the link to a wifi card that is compatible with my laptop card because my wifi 2.4 ghz is so weak it can barely download chrome.

    Thank you!

    Here is the service manual that you need:

    Your manual

    The good news is that there is no BIOS block whitelist so that you can install any module wireless with the right form factor and the number of antennas. The bad new is that the removal and reinstallation of the wireless card is a serious surgical procedure.

    See pages 43-51. Pay attention to this:

    Ago 58 screws that must be removed, replaced or loosened when the service provider service allowed only parts. Take special note of each screw size and location during the removal and replacement.

    The wireless card is not allowed for the replacement of the end user, so you are questioning the guarantee by. Also, your laptop can have 1 antenna wireless that will make almost impossible upgrade if it is true.

    It would be the best card wifi HP offered and is really the best on the market in general:

    Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 802.11 ac 2 x 2 WiFi + BT Combo Adapter (no vPRO) 784644-005 4.0

    This is what it looks like:

    This American an m2 card form factor and of needs wireless 2 antennas. It's not expensive:

  • Acer Aspire V3 update - 772G graphics card

    Hello everyone. I asked on reddit and did some research and finally discovered that I couldn't upgrade my laptop graphics card the traditional way. However, someone suggested that I use the eGPU but what he told me to check if my laptop it would support. I would also like to know the implications of this facility (someone said that I might have to remove features wireless for my laptop).

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Short answer, not worth.

    Most of the commercial version of the eGPU there connects via thunderbolt 3 and you do not have such a port to connect a unit in the first place.

    The person who told you about loss of functionality of the WIFI card for sure suggested to your own eGPU, linking on the PCIe slot, which would connect the wifi card. It's something that requires a lot of knowledge and more important still, it no longer a plug of a game, and no one can even guarantee that even if do you it by yourself, it would work. Of course, there are some external adapters that would link the graphics card on the PCIe slot where the wifi card should be, but as I said above no one can guarantee that it will work. In addition, you will need to always have the open notebook, or make a kind of 'hole' in order to manage the connection, since the PCIe port is, of course, inside the laptop.

  • HP Pavilion 14-n001tx: replacement of Mediatek MT7630E 802.11 wireless card bgn

    Hello

    Forgive me if I don't sift through the whole forum, but I was not able to get enough information.

    I currently own a 14-n001tx Pavilion, which has a Mediatek MT7630E 802.11 bgn 1 x 1 Wi - Fi + Bluetooth Combo Adapter 4.0. The problem is that I recently got a router AC and so seeks to update my wireless card. However, I read that it might be a white list of cards that are approved by the BIOS?

    In the maintenance manual, only the following devices are in the white list:

    Intel Wireless-N 7260BN 802.11 bgn 2 x 2 Wi - Fi + adapter combo BT 4.0

    MediaTek MT7630E 802.11 Wi - Fi adapter and adapter of Mediatek Bluetooth 4.0 bgn

    Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 802.11 bgn adapter Wi - Fi 675794 - 001 Ralink RT3290LE 802.11 bgn 1 × 1 Wi - Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter 690020-001

    Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11 bgn adapter Wi - Fi 709848-001

    As you can probably see, there is not able AC of maps here. However, I would like to ask if the whitelist is still applicable for new devices, and whether it would be possible for me to replace my card with a dual band AC compatible one with Bluetooth as well?

    Thank you for taking the time to read the block of text up there!

    Hello:

    HP seems to have deleted the whitelists BIOS of HP notebooks made in the last 18 months or so.

    I don't think you would have any problem installing this card in your notebook AC model, assuming that it has two antennas wireless connected to the current map (some model laptops only have an antenna connected to single band cards).

  • Help update the wireless adapter driver

    Is not the user more technically gifted, I have problems with the exact directions for updating my wireless card. Over the last week I have experienced intermittent gel with my wifi connection. It will freeze my browser completely sessions and I get a circle of rotation without end on one of my sessions. I can get out of it, use the Task Manager which will close all browser sessions, or I can do diagnose a wifi, which will find a problem and reset the adapter.

    At first, I thought that I had a browser problem and I took various measures, disable all add-ins, and I ran sfc/scannow with no errors found. Eventually, I discovered that this problem exists on Chrome and IE 11.

    I then pulled the top another PC and appears not to happen, led me to the conclusion that I have problems with my wireless card. When I go into Device Manager, I try automatically search for driver updates but get nothing. However, if I go to the website of the manufacturer under downloads, I see several driver updates. I downloaded the latest version of my dowload file. It is packed and I can extract all. It is where I am at the top of my head.

    I can uninstall the existing driver, but how and where to install the download. Please note the multiple files. I suspect that it is 32 or 64 bit?

    Toshiba all in a LX830

    Windows 7 Home Premium

    Atheros AR9485WB-EG (2.4 only) (responsible for all the Microsoft Updates option there)

    Finally, should I continue with this process, or would I better off having the shop replace the adapter with capabilities both 2.4 & 5.0, or buy a USB doogle and just disable the current?

    Kind thanks.

    It will be displayed in the Device Manager.

    All you do is plug it in.  Windows 7 it will recognize and install all drivers needed.

    Very important: once you have installed the USB wireless device.  DISABLE any internal.  But not until after a new installation.

    Control Panel, network and Internet, network and sharing Center, change the settings for the adapter.  Right-click on an internal and choose disable.

    Advantage aside: the device is universal.  You can use it in other Windows devices.

    Another tip.  Bad idea to move the laptop with trendy. It can be a vulnerable point.  Leverage simple question.

  • [Depressed] Due to the cannot update/change my card wireless dv8000t

    My HP pavilion dv8000t Intel 3945abg pci-e wireless card died a week ago and I want to upgrade to Intel5300agn because it supports Wireless-N much faster than G.

    However, I got a 104 error messeage: unsupported material and never boot into windows.

    I checked the internet and understood this limited HP than dv8000t support Intel3945 abg only bios.

    I don't know the reason behind this, however, whatever the reason, it is totally unacceptable.

    You cannot update/change the brand of the wifi card, it's the most ridiculous thing that I have experienced in my life of the computer.

    I'm a fan of HP and I always recommend my fds HP and they trust in me and buy HP laptops that I am the head of the spirit of my circle.

    Unfortunately, after this time, I can't buy any laptop of HP unless HP change their policy which is to give the user benefits from upgrading their equipment.

    HP must indicate the parts that customers of can/Can ' t make clear in their brochure. I wouldn't buy this dv8000t if I know that I can not update/change my wireless card.

    One more thing, it is that the total customer care serivces is crap.

    Sharon of the team don't even know not dv8000t is intel based from the model number. I must give a conference to tell him how HP named their laptops.

    dv8000 (T), T for intel cpu dv8000 (Z), Z is AMD processor-based. I really doubt on the quality of the knowledge of their own products customer service team.

    A frustrated customer.

    You can also use usb adaptors as well for the wireless, it doesn't have to be an internal card. But you can be upset by a manufacturer to support only the card with which he delivered. These aren't desktop computers.

    Hello:

    If there are two antennas connected to your current wlan card wireless (many laptops with the Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11bg / n 1 x 1 WiFi adapter have only 1 current wireless antenna), then you can move to the

    Broadcom BCM943228HMB 802.11abgn 2 × 2 Wi - Fi, Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 adapter adapter - HP ref # 730668-001.

    Intel wireless network adapters will work normally not in a notebook with AMD hardware.

    Make sure that your laptop has 2 antennas wireless now, before ordering a different wlan card, unless you are willing and able to disassemble the entire notebook including the Billboard, in order to properly install the second antenna.

    Repair shows 2 antennas, but as I posted above, for some reason any many laptops equipped with wireless Realtek 8188 card have only 1.

  • I need to update my video hardware (video card)? How can I do?

    I need to update my hardware (video card?) video for a game that I want to play and I have no idea how to do that. I don't know where to look for what I have installed on my computer. Help please?

    [Moved from comments]

    Hello

    When you ask questions here at least provide your computer model number and version of the operating system and the system requirements for the game in particular.

    And a little tip for you: If you don't know what you're doing on your computer, you expose yourself to expensive damage to it by opening and remove the material and installation of new equipment.

    I suggest you get out your computer a good computer repair shop, local as well as the requirements for the particular game and ask them to upgrade the hardware that run the game.

    As well as installing a graphics card upgrade, you need memory RAM (memory) must be installed as well.

    System requirements for the game will tell you that information.

    See you soon.

    No there's a white list of BIOS that will prevent the installation of any wireless card other than that provided by HP with the original from the sale of the unit. And there must be a version of HP of the card, not only the same chipset. Pages 57-58 lists the options available:
