Compaq Presario CQ61-416SA: upgrade the Compaq CQ61 wireless card

I have a Compaq Presario CQ61-416SA, running 64-bit Windows 7 application. The current wireless card only works on the 2.4 Ghz band and I want to upgrade to a dual band to get the best speed etc. to 5 GHz. I have an Intel Centrino N6230 of replacement card, but the phone will not accept anything other than the default map. At the start, it stops with an error message saying that it will not continue unless the "unauthorized device" is deleted. If I re - install the original wireless card, it starts and works very well, but this is not the point, I would like to update.

I guess that the default is to lock the part of the BIOS of the laptop to prevent alteration unauthorized with laptop computers under warranty, but mine is well outside the guarantee.

I know that the card works because I installed it in my laptop previous and I have been in electronics for 30 years and spent about 5 years of this repair of computers laptops, desktops, servers, etc so I'm sure that I am able to connect a card and the driver installation!

There does anyone know a way around the block? I won't to be able to upgrade the laptop without it.

Anyone?

Do not completely blame HP, but it was little 1984 involving your federal Government. HP and Lenovo read a few Federal Communications Comm regs on the recording of radio portable wireless (including the computer wifi cards) to require that alternative cards are blocked. Other laptop makers has not agreed and now the 'white list' is history, but there is no effort to go back and make new BIOS for older models.

HP wireless card versions have specific identification in the firmware looking for the HP whitelist before clearing the map to use if you use the version of HP. I looked pretty hard for a version of HP of the card and the one I linked is everything I could find. Google around and you can do better.

  • Compaq Presario CQ61 wireless problem

    I use a PC Compaq Presario CQ61-411WM with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and I am not able to connect to the internet, because the PC does not detect the available wireless networks. The HP wireless assistant reported that the wireless device is disabled in the Device Manager. However, when I check the device under network adapters Manager, Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller does not display an error or a problem. I'm really very happy for any help with this. Thank you.

    Hello:

    Well, the only thing I can think of to confirm that your wireless card did or didn't die is to go into your BIOS by pressing F10 at HP welcome screen and see if there is a configuration menu of devices and make sure that your wireless adapter is displayed.

    If it does not appear, make sure that the setting is set to enabled.

    If it is not, then I guess that the card is completely broken.

    If it is listed and enabled in the BIOS, then you have a major software problem and my solution would be to save all the files you want to keep and perform a system recovery.

  • Upgrade of the HP-7260he wireless card

    I currently have the Ralink RT5390 stock wifi card on my HP 7260he 8 64-bit Windows running, and really, I don't like it and am wanting to switch to something like the

    Intel 7260HMW IEEE 802.11ac, dual-band, 2 x 2 Wi - Fi more combo Bluetooth Mini PCI Express Adapter - 867 Mbps 4.0 + 300Mbps - internal - OEM. ($26 on Newegg)

    Is it possible, or should I just stay with the card stock wifi?

    Thanks in advance.

    At some point in the recent past, HP dropped the dreaded wifi Whitelist. Exactly when and on which models we know. Yours may or may not have a white list. Your complete model is Envy dv6-7260he, by the way.

    It is the only card dual-band capable of 5 GHz that will work without a doubt, even with the white list. It is a very good card:

    Module Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 WLAN 670691-001

    Here, it's on eBay for about $5:

    You can be our Guinea pig and try the 802.11ac card and let us know if the system starts or if you get the message 'unsupported wireless. You will get all advanatage go AC card without a router AC and even the map above won't help you unless you have a N wireless router broadband 5 GHz. Only bluetooth combo cards that are certainly on the whitelist are 1 x 1 (2.4 ghz only), but people, this would be the best:

    Card WiFi in Satellite T130-17F doesn't support the 802. 11A / 5 GHz. I would like to replace it with one that is supported. Is this possible? If so, are there any documents that show how do?

    Thanks in advance, Igor Bukanov

    Hi mate

    Usually the laptop supports WLan miniPCI module. This means that usually the other WLan miniPCI cards should work, but I read also here in the forum that it is not always the case and sometimes other WLan miniPCI card would not me recognized correctly.

    But why you try n t a simple solution like a USB WLan stick?
    It is the simpler and in my opinion the best solution for you.
    You will not need to disassemble the laptop. This means that there is no risk of damage and the warranty

    That's why I recommend you try this solution.

  • dv9550eo: dv9550eo - upgrade to HQ support wireless card

    My HP Pavilion dv9550eo since 2007, I learned Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN.

    Can I put this to a series 7 with 802.11ac Intel support?

    My BIOS version is l58.

    I don't know where we know it's in the white list or not. I also read something about your setup of the BIOS so it will support the wireless cards.

    There is no way to do what I can recommend. The white list includes only those cards to the origin of the plant. In your case, the laptop is so old that you won't have the option to use a dual band N card let alone a 802.11ac card. If you explore the dark recesses of the internet you can find a BIOS "hacked" which will supposedly remove from the whitelist but I refuse to participate in such a thing that you have no way of knowing if the hacked BIOS also has a rootkit or other malicious code, he or she will maybe just brick your laptop.

  • HP Pavilion 17-E049WM: the dual-band wireless card

    I have a processor amd on this machine. Single band wireless card. I was wondering if this card would work on this machine.

    Intel Wireless-N 7260BN WiFi 802.11b/g/n 2 × 2 + Combo Bluetooth 4.0 adapter

    Or is it just for processors intel...

    If this is not the case, is there all the wireless cards double for this so I can pick up the band 5 GHz on the router.

    Now I have a usb dual band that works but if I could just go inside the laptop and put in another map that would be better.

    TIA.

    Hello:

    Probably the Intel card will not work.

    I don't know anyone who has a laptop AMD based where the Intel card worked and it was not your model.

    I suggest you only install a dual-band Broadcom card, which should work just fine.

    This one...

    Broadcom BCM943228HMB 802.11abgn 2 × 2 Wi - Fi adapter, card Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0.

    Before you buy any wireless card, make sure that your model has two sons of wireless antenna connected to the current map.

    Inspect your real model.  Do not rely on the photo of the manual as some forum members have reported that a single antenna attached even if the manual shows two.

    If there is that a single, dual-band card will not get the reception he needs with only a single antenna.

    Here is the link to the service manual for your model.

  • Update of HP Compaq 610 wireless card

    Hi, I have a Compaq 610 with Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T5870 2 GHz processor.

    Windows 7 64 bit

    The wireless adapter is the 3945ABG. Can I change this card with 4965AGN?

    Thank you.

    Hello:

    Here is the service manual for your laptop.

    http://bizsupport1.Austin.HP.com/BC/docs/support/SupportManual/c01787889/c01787889.PDF

    Supported maps wireless network with HP part numbers can be found in Chapter 3, beginning on page 3-6.

    The 4965 is not supported, but if you are looking for card Wireless-N dual band (2.4/5.0 GHz), with map of BCM 4322 AGN.

    Buy indicated part number that works for the country where you live.

    You can probably get a real cheap on eBay.

    Questioned by the HP part number, not by the model of the card.

    Cards without the HP part number will not work.

  • Can I upgrade the processor or graphics card to my G42-371br?

    I've already updated the memory, but I think it's quite different

    Hello:

    Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02627955.PDF

    Can be found in Chapter 1, s page 2 & 3 support AMD processors.

    The only way to update the video is to replace the motherboard with a GPU better.

    Looking at the specifications of your laptop, it seems that you already have the best graphics solution available for this model.

    There is a Board with the video of 6370 and 1 GB of memory (512 MB has yours), but who would certainly be worth hundreds of dollars that it would cost to replace the Board of Directors.

  • Windows 8 freezes using the WN851ND V1 wireless card

    Hello

    I did upgrade (and then clean install) of Windows 8 Pro on my Gigabyte B75M-D3H with OCZ Vertex 4 SS i7. It froze several times during the upgrade and once I managed to install it, but after a few minutes of use - it froze again.
    I discovered that if I turn off my card TP - LINK WN851ND V1 wireless, Windows 8 ran very well.
    TP-LINK argued that the Wireless PCI card is compatible with Windows 8, however I continued hanging OS experience. What is this design allowing an incompatible driver to take the BONE indefinitely without error or warning?
    It reminds me of Windows 95 days.
    No wonder that the upgrade is at low cost - because it does not work! It should have been a free.
    Kind regards
    Fhadi

    Hi fhadi,

    Thanks for posting in Microsoft Community!

    I suggest you to download and install drivers in compatibility mode and run.

    http://www.TP-link.com/en/support/download/?ProductCategoryID=201&model=TL-WN851ND&version=v1

    Follow the steps to run in compatibility mode:

    (a) access to the start screen

    (b) press Windows key + C on your keyboard to show the charms (if you have a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and slide your finger to the center of the screen to display the bar of charms)

    (c) search for Troubleshooting, click settings in the right-hand column.

    (d) click on troubleshooting. Click run programs made for previous versions of Windows

    (e) click on Next, select not listed. Click Next

    (f) click Browse and select the driver file you downloaded.

    (g) click on Next, click program troubleshooting

    (h) check the program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run now

    (i) click next , select the latest OS known functional for this driver (probably Windows 7)

    (j) click Next

    Let us know the status.
