Please let know us if it is possible to upgrade the card wireless in my laptop to a 802.11ac card. A currently installed 802.11b/g/n card.
My PC is a HP Pavilion 17 laptop.
G6R35UAR #ABA product name
Thank you.
There is no white list. Here is the Service Manual:
See p. 96
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:
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.

Upgrade to 802.11ac?
Anyone know when a 802.11ac card will be available for the Sony Vaio Pros? It is clear that the current wifi adapter problems common with little support from Sony, so before purchase would thus expect 802.11ac will credited to these ultrabooks.
All thoughts/dates?
Thank you
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="">1>
Here's a ping test I just did on my Pro Vaio with n ° 7260 (rssi = - 25 dbm, 3 feet of router)

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:
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.

Well, I could see Intel Dual band Wireless - AC 3160 802.11ac 1 x 1 WiFi + BT combo adapter listed in the manual of your product:
HP part number: 710662-005
(NOTE: due to the announcement of HP White wireless module, you can only buy compatible listed specific section in your manual & there is no 100% guarantee that it will work at all)Look for it in the HP part surfer according to your region:

4010nr spectrum 15 HP: 4010nr spectrum 15 HP Wifi upgrade
Hello
I would like to know if there is an option to upgrade the WIRELESS card on my laptop. Currently it is stock adapter Intel 6235 BGN. Is it possible to install Intel Wireless 3160HMW 802.11ac ?
As I remember, there is a sort of 'white list' of compatible cards... This one will work? or shall I seek another specific model?
P.S
Searched all over the internet, no info found. Would be useful if HP publishes compatible HW for their products, upgrades would be easier

@Tardis40,.
I know that all frame numbers, originally used in my laptop.
I am currently looking for those, who are supported as a replacement/upgrade
The question is to know that it is possible to upgrade wifi without making manual "adjustments" to the BIOS and disable the compatibility check (which is not a desirable solution)
[UPDATE]
INTEL 3260 AC adapter - seems to work correctly (cannot test AC in fact, given that no available home router). At least - it works with N, BT works too...
My conclusion - it IS POSSIBLE to upgrade, however the wifi adapter should be for HP (adapters, from Lenovo, Asus, etc. only will work for sure)

Our wifi at work is extremely slow and the technician who came told us that we have a router with capacities of 5 GHz. My boss wonders if our PC is supported by an upgrade on the network card before we spend the money to do this. Is there anyone can tell me which cards are compatible with our PC? Any information will be greatly appreciated.
Upgrading a PC AIO is much more difficult than a normal desktop PC.
The easiest way to update your AIO PC would be to upgrade with a wifi usb 802.11ac adapter. Wifi installed mini PCIe wifi adapter uses the setting of 1 x 1 antenna built into your PC. Your PC is not able to be upgraded to a wifi with ability to stream adapter 2 x 2. You would need this ability to upgrade, but your PC has not.
I have a collection of wifi usb adapters for my own use. My favorite usb adapter is the ASUS USB-AC56.
Note you will also need to upgrade the router to able to bradcasting your SSID to 2.4 and 5 Ghz with the 802.11ac specification.
I've updated some information in this post. See paragraph 2.

Thank you.USB dongles usually come with a small minidriver disc but they usually just use a common Broadcom or Atheros chipset for which Windows will probably provide the driver and it will be plug-and-play

Envy TS 15 + 15-r03nr: 15-r063nr recommended wifi upgrade
The OEM WIFI card is only capable of 2.4 GHZ so even if it is listed as b/g/n, I can't use n because my router is 5 GHz n mode what is the recommended 15-r063nr wifi upgrade?
Your service Manual:
Initially proposed wireless cards are indicated on page 3, and all are 2.4 ghz N cards. "N" is delivered in version 2.4/5 ghz and 2.4 ghz. Your laptop doesn't have a white list, so you can actually install any wireless card on the market.
See page 61 of the manual for instructions. This is not an easy task and will put security at risk.
If you want to go forward, I suggest this card to install:

Hi Curtis,.
Microsoft updates which was installed recently?
First of all, I suggest you to change, the automatic installation of updates settings to manually. Once you change the settings manually then find updates and install updates one after another to find out what update is causing the problem. Once you know the update caused the problem, download and install this update in skinny boot from the Download Center.

Welcome to the forum!
Outside parts, you first need a modded BIOS.

Perhaps, but it would be most likely to be via an external USB wireless adapter to do. I suggest you check out OWC to see if they have what you are looking for.

WiFi (slow connection on 802.11ac) subjects with 10.11.3
My Macbook is connected to a router TP - Link Archer C7 on 802.11ac v02 (5 GHz). Sitting next to the router speed is between 800 and 900 Mbps.
First I had problems after wake her from her sleep. Speed has fallen to 7 Mbps. After toggling wifi turned off/lit, speed was normal.
Now, I've upgraded to 10.11.3. At the start speed is between 29 and 59 Mbps. sometimes it gets easier, but maximum is of 400 Mbps.
I tried:
-Reboot everything
-Removed Wifi config/service
-Static IP, DNS, IP v04/v06, MTU
-Various parameters of the router
-/ Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration deleted
-Reset the PRAM/SMC
RSSI:-50dBm, noise:-83 dBm
If I boot in safe mode, all right. Normal speed to 900 MBit/s. No problem with sleep, etc., but only in safe mode!
Any suggestions?
You may have installed a third-party application that claims to provide anti virus, protection, management, firewall, cleaning, etc. If so, uninstall these applications.

8770w LY560EA: WLAN upgrade 8770w LY560EA to 802.11ac, possible?
Hello
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,
Marc
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.
