HP TouchSmart 15-j051ea ENVY: WiFi update

Hello

My laptop is a HP ENVY 15-j051ea TouchSmart and has an Intel® Centrino® Wireless - N standard 2230. I had a look online and thought that the Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6235 would be a decent upgrade. No problem with my current phone, but I try to get better speeds.

I am wanting to know what think of upgrading chosen in terms of difference that I will notice, and also whether it will be compatible. Heard a little HP having problems with compatibility due to the white list.

Here are the links to these two circuits you can look at what each offers and let me know if you think that the upgrade would be useful.

You are the very welcome, Chris.

Yes, it would be the perfect way to test if the laptop has a list white or not, since the info is not accessible to the public.

I did the same thing with my laptop HP 350 G1.

From the factory, that he couldn't have the mirror from the map screen he could not Intel WiDi as your 2230 is.

But the rest of the hardware (CPU and graphics card) was capable of WiDi.

I got an Intel 6230 card wireless laying around, so what I did to unscrew and remove the card Broadcom who was in the stock specifications, but I left the antennas connected on it.  This way if the Intel card didn't work, I wouldn't be messing around with these tiny antenna connectors.  I doubt they are supposed to be taken on and off too many times.  In the event of the card Intel did not work, so all I had to do was unscrew and put the Broadcom card without messing around with the antenna connectors.

I installed the 6230 dual band Wireless N card and kept the laptop on the table (since the Broadcom card has been suspended by the antennas) and started.  No error in the BIOS.  I went into the Device Manager and saw that she acknowledged the map as a network controller (because he was not the driver).

It was enough evidence for me.  So, I finished installation by exchanging the antennas and installing the driver for the wireless card.

Then once I installed the WiDi software, I could mirror my laptop to smart TV screen.

Since it worked, I decided to buy the new Intel 7260 dual band Wireless N, which works very well in my book too card.  Fortunately, the antenna lead held upward.

So yes, definitely try any wireless card mini half that can fit into the slot.

    Step 6. Click OK
    Step 7. Close the Device Manager

    NOTE: There may also be checked under the CONTROLLER FAMILY (for example. Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller which would belong to the title of the WiFi card). If so, you can remove the check mark next to ALLOW the COMPUTER TO TURN this DEVICE FOR SAVE OFF

    If the problem persists after the above please re-post with the number of your product to your computer. I'm a link a HP Support document below that will show you how to find the number for your product. Because with that I can give you accurate information.

  • HP Envy wifi does not

    Hello, I just got a new HP Envy. However, I was not able to maintain a wireless connection. Generally it will not connect to my wifi or connect only for a few minutes and then say 'limited' and then not at all connect. I did the full windows to the computer updates. I've updated the drivers for the wifi card. I have updated the firmware on my router. I also uninstalled norton. None of them have worked, still no connect or will connect and fall in a few minutes. My information system is the following:

    Product name: HP ENVY TS m6 Sleekbook

    Product number: EOK41UA #ABA

    BIOS (Setup): F/.05-05/28/2013 (0883100022305B 00000320100)

    I have two ipads, two iphones, an xbox, a windows phone, two toshiba laptops and hp Pavilion DM3, which are able to connect and maintain free wifi without problem (not all connected to the certain time necessarily-, it is not a problem of overload). The network works fine, I just can't understand what is the problem with this HP Envy.

    Well, after I saw that the wifi worked in safe mode, I went into the startup applications and managed to turn them off and restart the computer to find out who was playing with the wifi. I have disabled startup motoralla bluetooth software and disabled secure boot. He is immediately connected to wifi and not him has not yet declined. Problem solved.
