HP Elitebook 8470p: possible upgrade to Intel AC 7260 802.11ac wireless? HP Elitebook 8470p

I want to improve the wireless card on the 8470 p, and I read that HP has whitelisted some Wi - Fi cards, so only those approved by HP may really work

Now the 8470p is released in 2010 / 2011 (?) - some time then anyway and 802.11ac wasn't really one thing in 2011 (at least not outside the offices of the IEEE)

I found this on the interwebs:

http://Forum.techinferno.com/HP-business-class-notebooks/6691-installing-wireless-card-Intel-AC-7260...

And this person implies that it would be possible to type in a 802.11ac wireless adapter and it would only work? Thought ID ask the official HP forums, because it's a HP product!

Thank you

EDIT: The Solution is wrong. See jlong pos

No AC adapters will not work. Only wifi cards that are on the whitelist, that is those in the manual and only ref HP versions of those.

The Intel cards are limited to the Ref. HP versions contrary to the statements of the Wicki guy. There are a few options of 5 GHz, but not 802.11ac cards. Sometimes the cards that are not in the manual will work somehow and I know there is a 7260N that many people confuse for the 7260ac card. I know that the 7260AC will NOT work because we had messages before people here who have tried, but it would not shock me if a 7260N card would work. Cannot promise, however. It is largely a guessing game since the actual whitelist itself has never been made public.

  • Pavilion G6: Intel AC 7260 network card wireless

    I want to change my card Atheros wi - fi with this Intel AC 7260 network.

    Can anyone tell my, if I need to update my BIOS for my model to install this card?

    This is the 3rd generation i7 and all models without whitelist are generation 4 and longer, if you still have it.

    Here are your choices:

    ● Intel Centrino Wireless - N 2230 802.11b/g/n 2 × 2 WiFi and Bluetooth Combo Adapter 670290-001 Atheros HB125 802.11b/g/n 1 × 1 adapter WiFi (some models only) 675794-001 ● Ralink RT3290LE 802.11 b/g/n 1 x 1 WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter 690020-001 ● WiFi Ralink RT5390R 802.11 b/g/n 1 × 1 (some models only) 691415-001

    The clearly the best choice, but not as good as you had wished:

    https://www.Amazon.com/HP-670290-001-Intel-Centrino-wireless-N/DP/B009SOG404/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&QID=1465557831&SR=8-1&keywords=670290-001

    Only 2.4 GHz, it is double flow for should provide pretty good range.

    Do not shoot the Messenger. The white list wasn't my idea and no one is happier to see her go.

    Hi all

    I was doing some poking around to see if it is possible to put a chip Intel 7260 802.11ac in my T430s and a few things I read this was not, but then I came across this page:

    http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?docid=DS036007

    No, it won't work. The white list in the bios will not allow him.

    It is somehow possible to upgrade my 8770w to 802.11ac LY560EA WIFI network?

    I read that it should not be a problem with the white list, because it's an IvyBridge, correct?
    But what card WLAN-would work?

    Thank you very much in advance and best regards,

    You can improve your workstation to a network card Intel using ac 802.11.

    Who would work is theIntel Networkcontroller AC3160.

    The downside to this card is that you lose the feature WI - DI. Not streaming on a HD Smart TV. Personally, I would not lose this functionality. 802.11ac is not as wonderful as you think it is. It has its limits. 802.11ac, does not as easily as 802.11 g and 802.11n drill through walls.

    Since your workstation is a 2012 model, there is no present whitelist in the BIOS to prevent upgrades.

    A candidate wifi adapter that will be compatible with your workstation must have a mini PCIe interface.

    There is no wifi m2 adapters that are compatible with your workstation, since there is no slot m2 on motherboard of your workstation.

  • The upgrade of Intel processors

    I have a HP Touchsmart want Ultrabook 4, and I'm interested in upgrading my Intel Core i5 processor to the fourth generation (from the third generation). It is even possible, and if this is the case, how can I do to upgrade? I only want to upgrade to a better graphics card. Thank you!

    This article refers only to upgrade (read REPLACEMENT) your device (COMPUTER) with a new one containing the 4th Gen Intel CPU. The facts seem to point to 4th Gen Intel processors requiring that all new sockets with greater spindle counts compared to their Gen 3 processors.

  • win8 home premium to pro upgrade, says Intel wireless driver is not compatible

    I have a new desire 4 with Windows 8 home preium ultrabook installed. I am trying to install the Windows Pro upgrade, who refuses to continue because my wireless software is invalid for Windows 8. I installed a later version on the Intel website, makes no difference. I tried to remove the offending software and restart and still objects.

    Thanks for the tip, Paul. I've never had this problem with an upgrade of Windows before. I think that really he should let me come up with it and just warn me that he thinks that there is a problem. I see that I am not alone - this is someone with a Dell - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_install/unable-to-install-windows-8-pro-due-to/cf6e74c5-caa3-4089-a056-c55f4e64703d.

Intel suggests to remove all the Wifi drivers before moving on to Win 8 (http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-033854.htm). The instructions are here - http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-030416.htm. He suggested deleting the app settings, which I don't. My solution was simple - I was really taking the wrong approach. I wanted to spend 8 Win Home Premium to Win 8 Pro and I was using the Windows 8 Pro pack which includes the 32-bit versions and 64-bit disk. They are intended for upgrading from a previous version of Windows to people. I need to take a different approach and "add features to Windows 8", which does not require a disc, as all features are already in 8 Win Home premium, they just need to be unlocked. All's well that ends well, as they say!

    Thank you.

    There is no white list. Here is the Service Manual:

    See p. 96

    Manual

    You have the 17 inch model and for the 15-inch model AMD HP actually an AC card. This one:

    2x2HMC AC + BT4 Broadcom BCM 4352 WLAN 802.11 for HP Pavilion 15 AMD computer models available for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 724935-005

    It is an equivalent spare card sold on amazon.com:

    http://www.Amazon.com/Azurewave-Broadcom-BCM94352HMB-802-11-867Mbps/DP/B00IFYEYXC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&QID=1453758370&SR=8-4&keywords=Broadcom+802.11AC

    The card would work for you, but I have to warn you that the installation is no easy thing. It requires extensive disassembly and will jeopardize the warranty. You should not try to install an Intel card as they are called does not play nice with AMD computers. The Broadcom will be your best bet.

    WiFi-AC

    Well, Intel 7260 N and 7260 AC use the same drivers. 7260 N is also fundamentally 7260 AC with a mod firmware which disables the functionality of the CA. Basically, the equipment and the architecture is the same. If you do not upgrade to AC, you will see AC speeds to strong RSSI (-53 dbm or higher). Just speed falls sharply once you get below-65 dbm. I'm not saying it's 100% reliable since I don't know anyone who has swapped the AC 7260 the 7260 N. According to the hardware architecture and the use of the same drivers, HQ 7260 will have the same range as 7260 N it's just speeds for AC is much faster at close range. The VAIO Pro antennas are also very close to the motherboard and which severely limits the range of the laptop.

    In regards to my Pro, I don't like the Intel cards as much as I did a couple of years due to questions of this driver. I also have an another laptop (Lenovo) I the same WiFi N 7260. The problem with this laptop is not the beach. I get ~ 35 Mbit/s-68 dbm with the same card, but I get ping spikes that irritates me when I'm streaming online radio since he pads from time to time. The Vaio Pro also gets this ping spikes while the card Broadcom in the Macbook Pro and air are compatible<1 ms="" ping="" to="">

    Here's a ping test I just did on my Pro Vaio with n ° 7260 (rssi = - 25 dbm, 3 feet of router)
