ProBook G3 450: update to 5 GHz wireless adapter?

Good evening!

I bought this laptop earlier today and was surprised that the wireless card is not dual-band (I should have checked). I am very lucky and have 250 Mbit/s to the internet down fiber at home, so I really need 5 GHz to enjoy the speed. Is it possible to update the card in this laptop, or do I have to go back and choose another laptop?

Here's what is currently installed; Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello

There are few options. Plesae check

  • HP ProBook 450 G0 - brands of spare wireless adapter

    Hello, community,

    I have a question about my options of parts wireless adapter for my laptop HP ProBook 450 G0.

    For now, the laptop that I have has

    root@Linux:~# lspci | grep 'network controller '.
    03:00.0 network controller: Ralink Corp. device 3290

    and I can't say that I am fully satisfied with the quality of the wifi adapter sensitivity I don't know if it's me being out of luck or it's normal and behaviour expected for this model, but the fact is that I have two options now - either buy an adapter external usb or replace the internal adapter by another.

    While the options for an external adapter ubs are quite clear, the spare parts for an internal card are not so. So basically here's the question: what are my options? I heard there are adapters, one made by atheros, broadcom and intel, but do not know if they are compatible with my particular laptop model. And if they are, what would the references.

    Thank you.

    Yes. HP lock the BIOS, and if you install something else very accurate wifi adapters the system will not DISPLAY. You are right in thinking the Ralink is not the best option. Your best bet is Atheros and Intel in that order. Broadcom cards are a bit difficult to configure with Linux, but it can be done. Here is the complete list of the wifi cards with part numbers that you can use:

  • New ProBook G1 450. WiFi won't turn. No such driver on the HP driver support page.

    In short:

    the Wifi on my new ProBook does not illuminate. Device Manager indicates that the device driver for the Wifi does not load and may be missing or damaged. It is said that the wireless device is an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC3160 with Bluetooth handset device. HP driver support page is not a driver for this wireless device.

    Data sheet:
    ProBook G1 450
    Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
    Wireless: Intel Dual Band Wireless AC3160 with device combined Bluetooth

    In more detail:

    This is a new ProBook G1 450, which I'm still doing basic settings I've not yet added my programs. I'll put up the pre-installed operating system preinstalled with HP programs.

    There the code connects to the internet via an ethernet cable and I downloaded several Win 7 HP updates in this way. But it does not connect via a wireless network. It does not recognize that there is Wifi signals in the area. My old Thinkpad and my tablet to recognize a number of strong Wifs in the region and easily connect to the one that I am authorized to use. The ProBook said that there is not a wireless in the region.

    The ProBook WiFi is apparently disabled. The wireless light is turned on (white) and when I click on the appropriate icon, there's a message saying that Bluetooth is activated, but the Wifi is turned off.  Light is supposed to turn on if Wifi or Bluetooth, or both are enabled, it is not a malfunction if it lights up when turned on the only. But I have not yet tried Bluetooth.

    Many other ProBook G1 450 apparently have a Ralink wireless device or other devices. Not mine. Apparently my ProBook has an Intel Dual Bank Wireless-AC3160 with Bluetooth handset device. That's what told Device Manager. And this device can be great or maybe even a nice improvement. However, unfortunately, the Device Manager also said "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39). »

      The page of HP support for downloads of driver for my ProBook has no driver for such a device with wireless Intel.

    I did not try the wireless until you install many updates to Win and HP. As I noticed the problem of wifi, I found that it not install HP update: it was for 5 Hotkey support. Since then, I amhaving a little trouble with some other updates. I mention this in case it is interesting, but I can't see any link between these updates and Wifi.

    Help!

    It is resolved.

    It was a driver problem. I had looked for the driver on the page of intel as well as the disk HP support page and it has not been found. But I looked back to the page of the Intel wireless driver and judge. The tricky part is that the pilot is not directly under Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160: no driver is listed directly for her. But intel brings together a large number of drivers wifi under the Intel PROSet/Wireless software. If you use the Intel Driver Update Utility 2.0. It updates the PROSET/Wireless software, and then this software installs the updated wireless driver.

    My ProBook came with the Intel PROSet/Wireless software, but it is version 16.x.x.x. update the Intel page, is now 17.1.0.19.   He has in turn updated Daul Band Wireless - AC 130.  And now the s easily connects to Wifi.

  • missing wireless adapter!

    I had everything working properly. However, after automatically an update of windows, the wireless adapter has disappeared. She can still be seen in the Device Manager window.
    I was connected to the internet by cable.
    I have an access point at home where I usually connect my laptop. I assure you that the access point is not the problem as I saw at least 3 laptops in the same network works normally, most smartphones and so on.

  • Want to M6 1225DX: updated HP Envy M6 1225DX wireless adapter

    I'm looking to upgrade the card wireless in my HP Envy M6 1225DX.  Here are a few features on the machine:

    Product # D1E93UA #ABA

    CPU: Intel i5 - 3230M @ 2.6GHz

    RAM: 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM

    GPU: Intel HD graphics 4000

    Wireless: Ralink RT5390R 802.11bgn Wifi adapter

    OS: Windows 7 x 64 (I know that HP does not support this)

    BIOS version: F.26

    The wireless adapter that is currently installed (Ralink RT5390R) only supports SISO and the download speed tops out around 18-20Mbps.  I'm looking to replace this card with a card compatible MIMO and bluetooth, for example a 7260 Intel.

    I read on several forums that HP basically whitelists some cards wireless in BIOS.  I have reviewed the maintenance manual and it has a list of compatible cards I listed below:

    • Atheros WiFi 802.11b/g/n 1 × 1 9485GN and 3012 adapter Bluetooth 4.0
    • Atheros 802.11b/g/n 1 × 1 Bluetooth adapter Combo WB225
    • Broadcom 4313GN 1 × 1 WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 adapter 802.11b/g/n 20702
    • Module Intel Centrino Advanced-N WLAN 6230
    • MediaTek MT7630E 802.11bgn Wi - Fi adapter and adapter Mediatek Bluetooth 4.0
    • 1 × 1 Ralink RT5390R 802.11b/g/n WiFi adapter
    • RALink RT3290LE 802.11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter 690020-001 1 × 1
    • Atheros AR9565 1 × 1 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter 802.11b/g/n
    • Module Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 WLAN for the Japan only

    These are the only cards I can run in this machine?  I also read somewhere that HP no wireless adapter like whitelisting in the BIOS, and if that's the case, would a BIOS update fixed this problem?

    I've been watching the 7260 Intel, but I don't know if it would work and would not order it and he has no job.   This adapter could work in this phone or I am I'm confined to the list given in the service manual?  If I'm limited to the above list, no matter what recommendatins to the adapter that will give me what I'm looking for?

    Basically, what I'm looking for in a wireless adapter is:

    • Supports A/B/G/N and AC at 2.4 Ghz and 5.8 Ghz bands.
    • More high speed possible
    • Bluetooth 4.0
    • 1/2 height Mini PCIe form factor

    Thanks for the help

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your m6-1225dx HP ENVY Notebook and supported wireless cards. Yes, these are the cards that are supported in your notebook and fortunately will work with your graphics card and processor.  Some say that just restore BIOS to factory default help if you decide to go with your choice.

    You could restore the BIOS withthis document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings.

  • Pavilion dv6-6113tx frequency 5 GHz wireless network has not detected

    Hello

    My HP Pavilion dv6-6113tx Entertainment Notebook PC does not detect the signals of frequency of 5 GHz. I tried to verify my update of the software of wireless network and it is also up to date. I asked my colleague to help, they suggested me to attach a double external dongal wireless broadband. Is this the only solution? Or is it possible to replace the network adapter with a double band if this machine does not have this one. Please help me, I'm really annoyed with my computer laptop wifi. He works with 2.4 GHz wifi signal, ut due to problem of interference as indicated by the internet provider that doesn't have the right speed and speed fluctuates a lot.

    Pending a possitive response,

    Thank you

    Hey @arbab92 ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you're looking for more information about the 5 GHz wireless connectivity computer laptop dv6.

    The adapter supplied with your laptop is not a dual band card and does not support the frequency of 5 GHz.

    Generally (RFI) Wireless interference can be solved by changing the channel on your router wireless. The default value for most router manufacturers is channel 6, which runs on 2,437 GHz. You can change the channel on your router to channel 1 wireless (2.412 GHz) or 11 (2,462 GHz) away from the bloated channel 6 if there are several wireless networks and devices in your area.

    If changing the channel is not an option, or does not resolve the problem, you can buy a wireless network for your laptop adapter. The only 5 GHz compatible card that is compatible with your laptop is the Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230. The part number for this is 631956-001. You should be able to order it on the HP part Surfer Web site or third party like Amazon or eBay resellers.

    You can see how to install this map on page 67 of the HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service of Guide.

    I hope this is the information you're looking for.

  • 450 proBook G2: NIC for the Probook G2 450

    Is a dual band network card appropriate for the Probook G2 450?

    Yes, it's pretty new to the white list, so you can install any wireless with the right form factor card.

    Here is the Service Manual:

    It is a plug-and-play replacement. You want to get the the driver files on the hard drive (as perhaps the office) and make them available before making the swap to make sure that the card will work once you restart Windows. Here choose your operating system from the menu drop-down:

  • I need to know the Freq of my HP Pavilion wireless adapter is 2.4 or 5 ghz?

    The specifications for the HPE 440f does not say, it lists only the 1 GB under network but mine as also wireless adapter card and says nothing wireless.

    The number of prod is: BM 427AA #ABA.

    It runs at 2.4 or 5 ghz?  OR is it the PC Wireless not cela and decides to only commicates the router and the router?

    Anyone know?

    Hello

    Not too bad at all, a large number of machines still use 2.4 GHz. In my house, all printers (HP, Canon, Epson) use of 2.4 GHz. Any computer that uses b/g/n uses 2.4 GHz and my observations, ILS ALL FUNCTION properly. The card will probably remain for the life of the machine.

  • HP spectrum 13 Ultrabook: Unable to connect at 5 GHz wireless

    Hello

    Is it possible for this ultrabook, the product F4A22PA number #AB4, connect to a 5 GHz wireless network? Because currently, it cannot 'see' the 5 GHz home wireless network while all my mobile devices can. Is it a hardware problem or a software problem?

    Thank you.

    Hello:

    Here is the link to the product for your laptop.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04015688

    Next section of wireless connectivity, I see an Intel 802.11b/g/n with card Wireless Smart Connect (2 x 2) technology listed.

    Whenever you see a card with a suffix of bgn wireless, it means that it is a single card band (2.4 GHz) only.

    A dual band Wireless N card has a suffix abgn or agn.

    That is why you cannot connect to the band of 5 GHz with your laptop.  The card is only designed to connect to the 2.4 GHz band.

  • 2800-400 BIOS update will allow LAN wireless 802.11 g?

    I recently bought a Belkin 54 G cardbus wireless adapter for use with my Satellite 2800-400, which has a Windows ME OS.
    The installer would not install a driver, even if I was told to be supported.

    I wrote to Belkin and they told me that it was because the BIOS of the laptop did not support wireless 802.11 g and that I should update the BIOS. I've updated to version 2 of the BIOS, but it made no difference.

    I don't know if the Belkin instructions were on the right track or if they were they just push the responsibility too far from themselves as they could.
    Please can someone tell me if my laptop supports 802.11 g wireless, with or without the BIOS upgrade?
    TIA
    Mike

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure that if your laptop supports a local network because wireless connection I put t found any information about it. But as far as I know it s not necessary to update the BIOS with the wireless card works.
    I recommend you contact the service partner. They have more detailed information on this unit.

  • Laptop HP 15-g013dx not available 5 GHz wireless

    Hello

    I just bought a laptop HP 15-g013dx at Best Buy. They assured me that it's compatible 5 Ghz WiFi wireless.  But only the 2.4 router appears as an available connection.

    My wife's old iPad can access the 5 GHz. I am a tech dummy, so I don't know if I need to download a driver or something? Or do I need some kind of adapter?

    Thanks for any help,

    Thomas

    Hi, Thomas:

    The saleswoman at Best Buy was incorrect.

    Here is the link to the product for your model specifications page.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04395361

    It comes with a single band (2.4 GHz card only).

    You can indicate that, because of the description of b/g/n card.

    Double band Wireless N cards have the descriptor abgn or agn.

    The only thing you could do would be to replace the card with a card dual band wireless, and it cannot be an Intel card from your laptop hardware is AMD.

    There are two service manuals listed for your model. One shows, according to which compensation relates to your real model, the customer can replace the card easily, and we show that it can only be done by an authorized service center.

    So if you are interested in the resettlement of the map, take a peek at what manual is relevant for your specific model.

    The easy patterns to change the map will be a compartment on the bottom.  Those where the client can not change the map will have solid background with no compartments to change the hard drive, memory or wireless cards.

    It would be the wireless card I recommend...

    Broadcom BCM943228HMB 802.11abgn 2 x 2 Wi - Fi + 4.0 BT Combo adapter

    http://www.Amazon.com/GP/product/B00KOMZM4I/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_3?pf_rd_p=1944687742 & pf_rd_s = lpo-top-stripe-1 & pf_rd_t = 201 & pf_rd_i = B00CJ7ZQJC & pf_rd_m = ATVPDKIKX0DER & pf_rd_r = 1ZE6KM57H29JR2VTEAPX

    If you do not want or can not replace the card in your laptop, you could buy an external usb dual wireless adapter.

  • 2.4 Ghz wireless protocols supported in LabView

    As part of our University, we use your Robotics Starter Kit 2.0 and two other Robots of Lynxmotion (Brat & Tri-trak).

    Our goal is to integrate all three robots with LabView on a PC using Bluetooth/2.4 Ghz wireless connections.

    Our Tri-Trak can be controlled by a PS2 controller that uses a 2.4 Ghz wireless connection. I'm not sure of the Protocol for that, but it doesn't seem to be the Bluetooth. LabView supports protocols other than Bluetooth 2.4 ghz wireless?

    Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated,

    Thank you

    Richard.

    ThiCop,

    Thanks for your reply.

    We were able to determine that the lynxmotion robot used the technology/Protocol, we decided to buy a Bluetooth for it.
