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="">

Here's a ping test I just did on my Pro Vaio with n ° 7260 (rssi = - 25 dbm, 3 feet of router)

    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.

    Thank you.

    There is no white list. Here is the Service Manual:

    See p. 96

    Manual

    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:

    http://www.Amazon.com/Azurewave-Broadcom-BCM94352HMB-802-11-867Mbps/DP/B00IFYEYXC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&QID=1453758370&SR=8-4&keywords=Broadcom+802.11AC

    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.

    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,

    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.

  • HP Elitebook 8470p: possible upgrade to Intel AC 7260 802.11ac wireless? HP Elitebook 8470p

    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:

    http://Forum.techinferno.com/HP-business-class-notebooks/6691-installing-wireless-card-Intel-AC-7260...

    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.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11ac - I have a defective router again?

    Dear Apple friends,

    I reduced a problem with my Airport Extreme 802.11ac wireless router which I hope someone can shed some light on.

    Things I've tried:

    • Hard reset
    • Factory full reset w. of new settings.
    • Two different Apple ID (account iCloud)
    • Connection via the devices iOS (iPhone and iPad, both on v9.3.4)
    • 7.7.3 downgrade (problem).
    • New upgrade to 7.7.7 (problem).

    That is the problem.

    If I put a ID for 'Back to my Mac' Apple Airport utility > basic Station... updated and restart the router...

    .. .the router will not appear in Airport utility again unless I connect to it directly via IP.

    A Wi - Fi connection works fine but I cannot access the airport, or whatever it be connected until I have remove the back to my Mac (Apple ID) of Airport utility references.

    This router is a replacement from the Apple Store for a faulty Airport Extreme 802.11ac, who died after a few months.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated. I think again that router to Apple, but before you make the trek down there, I would be a little sure that this isn't just a bug or a problem on the end of Apple.

    Thank you, in advance.

    No, you don't do anything wrong. This problem has been reported several times recently and the only 'solution' at this stage is to disable Back to My Mac on your AirPort base station, until Apple has a chance to solve this problem.

  • HP Pavilion 23-h024 AIO: can I put my HP Pavilion 23-h024 network card to support the 802.11ac?

    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.

    @helpmepickone

    I've updated some information in this post. See paragraph 2.

  • 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.

  • When is Airport Express available in 802.11ac?

    I think of buying an Airport Express Terminal as an Extender for my network with an Airport Extreme base station.  No one knows when or if the Express will be available in 802.11ac format?  In addition, the benefits or drawbacks to the use of the Airport Express as an Extender?

    No one knows when or if the Express will be available in 802.11ac format?

    A forum to support users... we're all users... just like you.  Unfortunately, no one here will have any idea what a company notoriously secret like Apple could do, or when they could do.

    The only people who know anything about are at Apple, and they do not say.

    To the extent where using the Express as an Extender linking to the main router of the airport by using a wireless connection...

    Upside... more signals range

    Downside... loss of about half of the potential speed on the network

  • 802.11AC

    I have an extreme Apple (latest version) which is ac 802.11. I keep in a room near the kitchen. In the living room, I have an Apple Express, and this is the 1st version. Turning to 802.11n and I have an ATV 4th Gen connected to it. In the House, I have another Apple Express, also 1st version and I also have an ATV 4th Gen connected to it.

    I have the latest iPad Pro and MacBook 12 inches. These run to ac 802.11.

    The two expresses it is connected to "Extend the wireless network" in Airport utility.

    My question is, if the extreme works in 802.11ac and (2) Express with 802.11n, am I get full speed/bandwidth or do I need to get rid of the Express and maybe get another Apple Extreme 802.11ac?

    Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

    My question is, if the extreme works in 802.11ac and (2) Express with 802.11n, am I get full speed/bandwidth or do I need to get rid of the Express and maybe get another Apple Extreme 802.11ac?

    The Express Gen1 are single band... and more than likely using 2.4 ghz which is also limited in Apple routers to 150Mbps max... so with wireless extension of the Max speed which is normally about 60Mbps (wireless is half - duplex to half the link speed and then a little less for inefficiency) around 30Mbps (half of the half) is what you can expect. Even then, it might be much slower if the wireless signal is weak.

    Measure and see... More valid numbers are your own results. What speeds you get when connected to an express with a computer of the usual speedtest.com.

    Now, if you have internet slow... for example ADSL I have with a top speed of about 6 Mbps, then buy the best equipment will not increase an iota of internet speed. However if you need better local lan speed or your internet connection is faster than 30Mbps routers purchases better wireless CAN help.

    I say MAY because AC wireless has bad range... While it can give very high speed he falls too quickly...

    There is only one way fully guaranteed to get the bandwidth... Ethernet.

    If you are not able or not willing to install ethernet... any other method is the luck of the draw.
