Upgrade of the HP-7260he wireless card

I currently have the Ralink RT5390 stock wifi card on my HP 7260he 8 64-bit Windows running, and really, I don't like it and am wanting to switch to something like the

Intel 7260HMW IEEE 802.11ac, dual-band, 2 x 2 Wi - Fi more combo Bluetooth Mini PCI Express Adapter - 867 Mbps 4.0 + 300Mbps - internal - OEM. ($26 on Newegg)

Is it possible, or should I just stay with the card stock wifi?

Thanks in advance.

At some point in the recent past, HP dropped the dreaded wifi Whitelist. Exactly when and on which models we know. Yours may or may not have a white list. Your complete model is Envy dv6-7260he, by the way.

It is the only card dual-band capable of 5 GHz that will work without a doubt, even with the white list. It is a very good card:

Module Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 WLAN 670691-001

Here, it's on eBay for about $5:

You can be our Guinea pig and try the 802.11ac card and let us know if the system starts or if you get the message 'unsupported wireless. You will get all advanatage go AC card without a router AC and even the map above won't help you unless you have a N wireless router broadband 5 GHz. Only bluetooth combo cards that are certainly on the whitelist are 1 x 1 (2.4 ghz only), but people, this would be the best:

Atheros WiFi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 adapter and 1 × 1 9485GN 3012 655795-001

  • Satellite T130-17F - upgrade to the Mini-PCI Wireless card

    Card WiFi in Satellite T130-17F doesn't support the 802. 11A / 5 GHz. I would like to replace it with one that is supported. Is this possible? If so, are there any documents that show how do?

    Thanks in advance, Igor Bukanov

    Hi mate

    Usually the laptop supports WLan miniPCI module. This means that usually the other WLan miniPCI cards should work, but I read also here in the forum that it is not always the case and sometimes other WLan miniPCI card would not me recognized correctly.

    But why you try n t a simple solution like a USB WLan stick?
    It is the simpler and in my opinion the best solution for you.
    You will not need to disassemble the laptop. This means that there is no risk of damage and the warranty

    That's why I recommend you try this solution.

  • Compaq Presario CQ61-416SA: upgrade the Compaq CQ61 wireless card

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ61-416SA, running 64-bit Windows 7 application. The current wireless card only works on the 2.4 Ghz band and I want to upgrade to a dual band to get the best speed etc. to 5 GHz. I have an Intel Centrino N6230 of replacement card, but the phone will not accept anything other than the default map. At the start, it stops with an error message saying that it will not continue unless the "unauthorized device" is deleted. If I re - install the original wireless card, it starts and works very well, but this is not the point, I would like to update.

    I guess that the default is to lock the part of the BIOS of the laptop to prevent alteration unauthorized with laptop computers under warranty, but mine is well outside the guarantee.

    I know that the card works because I installed it in my laptop previous and I have been in electronics for 30 years and spent about 5 years of this repair of computers laptops, desktops, servers, etc so I'm sure that I am able to connect a card and the driver installation!

    There does anyone know a way around the block? I won't to be able to upgrade the laptop without it.

    Anyone?

    Do not completely blame HP, but it was little 1984 involving your federal Government. HP and Lenovo read a few Federal Communications Comm regs on the recording of radio portable wireless (including the computer wifi cards) to require that alternative cards are blocked. Other laptop makers has not agreed and now the 'white list' is history, but there is no effort to go back and make new BIOS for older models.

    HP wireless card versions have specific identification in the firmware looking for the HP whitelist before clearing the map to use if you use the version of HP. I looked pretty hard for a version of HP of the card and the one I linked is everything I could find. Google around and you can do better.

  • HP Pavilion 17-E049WM: the dual-band wireless card

    I have a processor amd on this machine. Single band wireless card. I was wondering if this card would work on this machine.

    Intel Wireless-N 7260BN WiFi 802.11b/g/n 2 × 2 + Combo Bluetooth 4.0 adapter

    Or is it just for processors intel...

    If this is not the case, is there all the wireless cards double for this so I can pick up the band 5 GHz on the router.

    Now I have a usb dual band that works but if I could just go inside the laptop and put in another map that would be better.

    TIA.

    Hello:

    Probably the Intel card will not work.

    I don't know anyone who has a laptop AMD based where the Intel card worked and it was not your model.

    I suggest you only install a dual-band Broadcom card, which should work just fine.

    This one...

    Broadcom BCM943228HMB 802.11abgn 2 × 2 Wi - Fi adapter, card Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0.

    Before you buy any wireless card, make sure that your model has two sons of wireless antenna connected to the current map.

    Inspect your real model.  Do not rely on the photo of the manual as some forum members have reported that a single antenna attached even if the manual shows two.

    If there is that a single, dual-band card will not get the reception he needs with only a single antenna.

    Here is the link to the service manual for your model.

  • Windows 8 freezes using the WN851ND V1 wireless card

    Hello

    I did upgrade (and then clean install) of Windows 8 Pro on my Gigabyte B75M-D3H with OCZ Vertex 4 SS i7. It froze several times during the upgrade and once I managed to install it, but after a few minutes of use - it froze again.
    I discovered that if I turn off my card TP - LINK WN851ND V1 wireless, Windows 8 ran very well.
    TP-LINK argued that the Wireless PCI card is compatible with Windows 8, however I continued hanging OS experience. What is this design allowing an incompatible driver to take the BONE indefinitely without error or warning?
    It reminds me of Windows 95 days.
    No wonder that the upgrade is at low cost - because it does not work! It should have been a free.
    Kind regards
    Fhadi

    Hi fhadi,

    Thanks for posting in Microsoft Community!

    I suggest you to download and install drivers in compatibility mode and run.

    http://www.TP-link.com/en/support/download/?ProductCategoryID=201&model=TL-WN851ND&version=v1

    Follow the steps to run in compatibility mode:

    (a) access to the start screen

    (b) press Windows key + C on your keyboard to show the charms (if you have a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and slide your finger to the center of the screen to display the bar of charms)

    (c) search for Troubleshooting, click settings in the right-hand column.

    (d) click on troubleshooting. Click run programs made for previous versions of Windows

    (e) click on Next, select not listed. Click Next

    (f) click Browse and select the driver file you downloaded.

    (g) click on Next, click program troubleshooting

    (h) check the program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run now

    (i) click next , select the latest OS known functional for this driver (probably Windows 7)

    (j) click Next

    Let us know the status.

    Hi there @tiggerchris

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that you are looking for help on how to replace your existing wireless network adapter or add something to support the 5 GHz band. I'm happy to help you with this.

    Service and maintenance guides available and put at level of guides for this system offer no wireless adapters. The simplest solution I can suggest would be an adapter USB dual band WLAN.  There are many benefits to this choice. It is easier to install, it's easy to transfer to another device if necessary, and they can be very economical.

    I'd say a bit of research online for this type of device, to see what is available.

    I hope this helps.

  • Update of the dv6 7000qe wireless card

    Is there something I need to do to make my laptop see this material change? I saw that another user here was able to switch the cards without any problems, I don't know what goes wrong.

    So it turns out that, if it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, it's a 2230 N with an apocryphal label attached. :/

  • Satellite A-C55-1N1 - upgrade of the network cards

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C55-A-1N1 running Windows 8.1 and want to update the NETWORK Ethernet card both cards Wi - Fi, with the upgrade of the most important Ethernet card.

    Current card Ethernet installed (by Device Manager) is Qualcomm Atheros AR8172/8176/8178 PCE - E Controller Fast Ethernet (NDIS 6 h 30). I would like to move to GigaBit Ethernet.

    I don't want to disassemble the laptop to determine the size of the current map before obtaining beforehand a replacement (to avoid repeated disassembly). Can someone please help with the details of the existing card (for example what size/connections) and what other cards would be compatible to use to reach GigaBit speeds, if indeed this is possible?

    Map current WiFi installed (by Device Manager) is Qualcomm's Atheros AR956x wireless network adapter. I would like to be able to also connect at 5 GHz...

    As with the Ethernet card, I would get a compatible card before dismantling and would ask the same questions. I also understand that I would need 2 or 3 internal antennas to reach faster speeds of the WiFi. Can someone advise please on existing maps, maps of appropriate replacement and on the issue of the antennas.

    Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

    Due to specific design material update on laptops is very limited and supported. Support is upgrade RAM or HARD disk. It's nothing more than that.
    You can find a list of compatible RAM memory modules to upgrade. HDD or SSD upgrade is not problematic and, on most portable models, it can be done by the owner of the laptop.

    All the other hardware upgrades are not supported. I do not understand that you want to use the material with the best specification but that should help you with this?
    > Can someone please help with the details of the existing card (for example what size/connections) and what other cards would be compatible to use to reach GigaBit speeds, if this is indeed possible?
    These info, you can get the laptop to the manufacturer or an authorized only, partner, but they will tell you the same thing I have already written.

    My advice to you: do not disassemble the laptop on your own. In a first time the valid warranty and secondly, you can damage something.

    At the end one, may be stupid, the question: what is the problem actually? Is your machine so slow or what? I mean in particular the LAN connection. It must be OK.
