Pavilion dv7-4180us: dv7-4180us wifi upgrade

My dv7-4180us has a Broadcom Minipci wifi card bgn and gets only 72 Mbps on my home network. I am running agn + ac on my network. I understand that the wifi options are limited by the white list in the BIOS. I've probably lap by going with a USB adapter, but I would have preferred an intern. I have a Dell E6500 with Intel Centrino 5100 card that connects to 150-200 Mbit/s and I would be happy with this speed on the dv7. Which wifi compatible cards for my dv7 will give you the best performance of wifi? I was going to get the Intel Centrino 1000, but it tops out at 150 Mbps, which is also claimed max for the Broadcom card I already have.

In fact, my computer BIOS is dated in 2011.

Looks like my best bet is one of them:

Intel Centrino 1000 802.11b/g/n WLAN module 593530-001

4322 Broadcom 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN module 582564-001

The two are alleged to be 802.11n MIMO 1 x 2 with connection speed up to 300 Mbps.

I just bought the Intel 1000 for $6.00 + free shipping. DV7-4000 series system a traction. Even if this does not work I am not much.

Thanks for the reply.

  • Pavilion dv7-7080eo Wifi Win 8.1 problems

    So, I'm having a little problem with the wireless switch button on my dv7-7080eo. Although it is not officially supported by HP for the computer that is running Windows 8.1, I loaded the system top and it works pretty well outside the wireless feature.

    When you perform a cold start, I noticed that the wireless light is orange, indicating that BT and Wifi are turned off. If pressing the button after login, I get the message that "flight mode" or "... disabled" respectively. Despite the mode plane is disabled, Windows still will not let me activate the wireless or map of the BT of controls Wireless under settings.

    What I've noticed is that if I put the computer to sleep and then wake it up then again, press on F12 allows indeed to go white LED and the option to activate both Wifi and Bluetooth are able to be activated and also works if I do not allow them. Shut down the computer gives orders wireless in the same state again - need to have yet another sleep a rewake.

    I installed HP wireless button Driver for Windows 8.1 (sp63564), which might not be the reason for the behavior, but uninstalling it seems to make no difference.

    Any help in this matter would be much appreciated. As indicated, even if the Windows 8.1 is not an operating system with support for this model, the fact that it works apparently almost all the time I think must count for something.

    Hi JRAM01,

    I understand that you are having problems with your HP Pavilion dv7-7080eo Notebook and wireless adapter. With Windows 8.1, we found the best thing to do is in your device manager just to restore the driver. It seems to help with WiFi.

    Please let me know.

    Thank you.

  • DV7 - 3165ev: HP Pavilion dv7 - 3165ev change/Upgrade CPU

    I saw in the manual series DV7 cpu i7 support, but not for specific models like dv7 - 3165ev.

    My goal is to replace the i5 m430 with an i7-720QM or 820QM i7, as they seem to be compatible with my model.

    Is there a limitation of BIOS and the system board that these CPU may not work?

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    This manual seems to relate only to the Quad Core models. Other similar models of dv7 motherboard is different for the dual core and quad core so models before trying to upgrade the processor, I would check the motherboard model number that is generally printed inside the memory compartment.

    It must be 575477-001 if the Quad Core processors are at work.

  • Pavilion dv7-1285dx option upgrade RAM / dual channel question

    Hello.  I had a few questions on my laptop dv7-1285dx I bought last January.  I explore the idea of upgrading the RAM, and I went on the site crucial and pulled these specs.

    It says that my system has 8 GB of memory dual channel max capacity, but from what I read here on these forums double channel really only works when you have 2 identical modules in each slot, right?  Well, my system came at HP with 1 x 4 GB and 1 x 2 GB installed modules standard package.  (I'm running Vista x 64).

    So, if this is the case, this does mean that I'm not running in double track right now and my computer is a drop in performance right out of the factory?

    Another question I have is my stick of memory from Samsung.  Would I be hurt me if I bought just a stick of 4 GB of crucial and kept the other stick of 4 GB of Samsung and used these two together?  Or is it better to use two Samsung or two Crucial sticks identical?  The sticks have to come from the same kit for best performance?   (IE - in the case of the Samsung, I would of course order a single module if I went this route and kept the original I have now).

    If I increase the RAM, is there anything else I need to do in the BIOS to enable function dual channel (if I don't have it right now) other that physically install the sticks?

    Thank you very much.

    Message edited by REB on 27/05/2009 06:46

    Molvitz has clarified a bit. For memory dual channel sticks must first be the same size (2 x 2 GB or 2 x 4 GB for example) and they must be the same speed and latency times. If you shuffle the cards to Flash the same size you will probably but not certainly have dual channel operation. If you put two identical poles, you are also sure that it is possible to be that they will work in dual channel mode. I have not tried to set up a laptop with 2 x 4 gig of RAM sticks and I believe that there could be problems with channel double use, as mentioned, because this product (4 gig laptop RAM sticks) is so new. I can speak from experience wide enough that what I say above applies to 2 x 1 gig and 2 x 2 GB.
