wifi card update

I am wanting to upgrade my acer aspire 7741 g-6426 wifi only card to a dual band card, no one knows what cards are and are not compatible with acer?  I am wanting to intel but reading where they don't play well with some bios, and I can't find new dual band wifi atheros cards.

I decided to go there and to install the dual-band wireless card it was a card intel 7265 with bluetooth and had no problems thank you for your help.

  • 5 GHz WiFi card update - Compaq Presario

    I just got a new router today and found out that it is a double router broadband and supports the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. I was wondering if I could update my existing WiFi card that supports only the 2.4 GHz and get one that will take in charge the 5 GHz band. Also if I have a 5 GHz WiFi card in my laptop can still connect to networks that support 2.4 GHz only? How much would cost a new card? And finally, if I can improve my card, how I put in my laptop?

    Data sheet:

    Model: Compaq Presario CQ57-33WM

    OS: upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro

    Memory: Updated 6 GB of RAM

    Hard drive: 320 GB 5400 RPM

    Processor: FSB of 1333 MHz 1.50 GHz Intel Celeron processor B800

    Network cards:

    Realtek RTL8188CE 802.11 b/g/n WiFi Adapter

    Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller

    (A lot of WAN Miniports is also listed in Device Manager)

    Can I still switch my wireless card based on these specifications? It would be difficult to change? Let me know if you need more information on the computer.

    Also, if it ends up that I can't change my card or it is really hard to change, could use something like this as a last resort? Double USB adapter wireless broadband

    Any help is appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Hello

    According to the service manual this lappy does not support 5 GHz wireless cards. Most recent computers based Intel Mobile (Ivy Bridge and higher) support the latest maps wireless Intel including the last 7260AC one. Your laptop is older, so I can't say with certainty what will work or not. In this case I suggest to get some usb adapters wireless such as that of your link or one of them:

  • Envy 15-j104el: updated NETWORK WiFi card and RAM update

    Goodmorning to everyone

    I write this post to ask for information on the possibility to do an upgrade of hardware on my HP Envy 15-j104elsystem.

    That's what I would do:

    -Replace the network card (NIC) to a wireless better and possibly with a compatible AC NIC.

    -Update to 16 GB of ram, put benches with CL9 SODIMM

    The questions that I want to bring to your attention are:

    -There is a 'white list' for the wifi card on my BIOS (actually F66)?
    (consultation with the service manual there are little NIC OEM selled, y at - it ONLY compatible?)

    -Put the sticks of ram CL9 (instead of CL11 currently OEM mounted), I can inprove the overall performance?

    I want to install are:

    -Intel Wireless-AC 7260 more Bluethoot HMC 4.0


    -Kingston HyperX Impact DDR3L 16 GB (2x8gb) SODIMM 1600 Mhz CL9 (Kit)

    According to your experiences, is it compatible? I can buy them without any problem?

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me. Thanks for your suggestions

    In particular, I take this opportunity to greet and also need the help of my friend @visruth ;)

    1. no whitelist. Your laptop was conducted after HP stopped using a white list so that you can install any card with the right form factor and the number of antennas. The Intel 7260 card should work.

    2. you can install the CL9 memory but it will not do anything all run faster. The motherboard is made to operate at the speed of the OEM memory so the Kingston Hyper-X will work, but the specifications of it in operation will be the same as memory OEM.

  • Updated the Windows 10 Qualcomm AR9485 Atheros Wifi Card Driver

    Currently, I encounter a similar problem with my HP Envy 17 Qualcomm AR9485 Atheros wifi adapter. The ethernet connection works but not WiFi. I can only connect to wifi after I immediatnly reset my router. All other devices work with the router. If the HP Envy 17 goes to sleep or stay on for an extened period, it disconnects and is not able to reconnect to my network. I had a similar problem to connect to another wireless network.  I've updated, restored, disabled and reinstalled the drivers from the adapter to any wifi avil. I returned at various points system retore. I tried everything except uninstall Windows 10. The HP Envy 17 is longer under warranty. At this point, should I open the laptop and replace the wifi card, or is there something that I have not tried?

    Thanks much for the reply, EmeraldAvenger. Yes, I tried all of your suggestions. It was never a red X in Device Manager. I tried different sleep mode power options and channels (1-11) on the router settings. I have reset the BIOS. I even contacted my ISP, who assured me that the issue was with my laptop, not the connection. The only way I could solve this problem was to remove the Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 wireless adapter and replace it with the wifi Intel 7260 inside my laptop adapter. I had no problem since since the swap. In fact, my connection is now faster and more reliable. I suggest to all who encounter this problem to just go ahead and replace the Atheros AR9485 Qualcomm. It is unforunate that HP has saddled 17 envy with this apparently faulty piece of equipment, but they have several useful videos on their support site to guide users how to disassemble their laptop.

    Network cards wireless supported with matching numbers of HP are in Chapter 3 on pp 25-27.

    Because your model has an AMD processor and chipset, dual band N Wireless only card that works in your laptop is WIFI 802.11a/b/g/n Broadcom 4322 module.

    You must select the reference number applicable to the part of the world you live.

    You can usually find one of these cards very low cost on eBay by questioning by the HP part only number.

    Atheros 9285 G 802. 11b / g (more than Bluetooth, with antennas) #518436-001

  • Pavilion 15-N064NR: update of wifi card and memory

    Hello, I have problems with my wifi, just disconnects all the time, that I can install and new and faster wifi card, and I can add more memory to this laptop thank you Mike

    Yes, you can switch the two quite easily. Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    You have 6 GB of memory which is a 2 gig and a 4 GB module. Your best return for the dollar will come to launch the 2 gig module and install a second 4 GB like the original module. This will give more memory and also run faster since it is dual channel. You could install up to 16 GB (2 x 8), but it would cost a lot more and provide many additional benefits. See p. 47 of the manual for instructions.

    Your model has no HP whitelist and you can install any wifi card that is the right form factor.  See p. 49. It's a low-profile mini-pcie form factor. The original wifi offered thereon cards are little lame. It's one of the better ones:

  • After new wifi card no wireless connection

    Hi, can all-in-one help me on this problem?

    in my tecra M 745 due youcef change a broken wifi card: the new material appears to be installed correctly, but when I return the laptop wireless connection has been configured in windows with a maximum range of 11 MB/s (a ' b') and keepes fall all the time (notmally 54 mb/s)
    When I want to set up using intel proset software, as I did before the repair (worked great), the program was empty, but the software was still in 'software': the helpdesk here said when the material is allright their work is done. they can set up but cost me a 100 euros/hour
    So, what went wrong? I think that the driver is correctly installed but intel proset does not work, why?
    should I update intel proset?
    Thanks in advance
    Dr. Weekx

    Hello Dr.

    If the wireless card is a new and correctly recognized and installed there not any problem at all. If there is a problem with the feature, it can be simply false connection configuration. Please don t be crazy about me, but installation and configuration of the Wi - Fi connection are two separate jobs. If you check the service for other stuff every step must be paid separately.

    As you know, the wireless connection can be configured using parameters of Windows or by a customer (in your case Intel one). If you want to use the software Intel configuration of Windows MUST be disabled.

    It will be nice that you give us a description of the good model laptop. Sorry, but Tecra M 745 is unclear to me. As far as I know, this is the processor identification and this processor is built in many models of different laptops.

    Good bye

  • Should I have a WiFi card installed?

    I googled this to death and had an email back & forth with HP support and I'm still not the wisest. I hope someone can help with a definitive answer.

    I have a desktop PC HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 170 bought in Australia. The product say that there a "wireless card 802.11 b/g/n Mini PCI-Express half-length" installed.

    When I go to control panel > DeviceManager > network adapters, the present one is a 'Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller.

    If I try to download/install the driver for the wireless card I get the error message "your system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update. Update has been canceled. (9996).

    I'm not that familiar with that sort of thing, but all this does not seem to suggest that I don't have a WiFi card installed?

    I have to pull the sides the computer turned off and physically take a look? If so, where exactly?

    Hello:

    If you do not see the model of network card wireless list in addition to the wired Realtek card, it could be one of 3 things...

    1. you are correct and either HP forgot to install the card, or the card is incoreect.

    2. If you see a device listed as a network controller listed in the other devices category in Device Manager, then the wireless card is present and the drivers must be installed.

    3. the wireless card is installed but is defective as DOA, or PCIe x 1 adapter that holds the card to the motherboard is loose and has a bad connection.

    Here is the link to the service manual for your PC.  I have not your model, so I have no idea where to find other than to tell you that the wireless card will have a wire antenna plugged on it and it will be mounted in one of the small slots PCIe x 1 on the motherboard via a larger map.

  • Installation of a missing mini PCI WiFi card in the Satellite 2450 101?

    My Satellite s2450-101 seems devoid of a WiFi card.

    There is no mention of such a card in the adapters in device Manager\Network, which lists the following three elements: 1) 1394 Net adapter MAC bridge Miniport) 2 and 3) Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC
    The Wireless Communication switch on "on" does not have the led lights up.
    By pressing Fn + F8, that should turn the wireless LAN has no effect.

    Responses to the following would be much appreciated:

    The laptop S2450-101 comes equipped with a mini PCI WiFi card in standard, or not?

    If so, how can it be activated?

    If it is not the case, how can we install such a mini-PCI card? The laptop is more two years and more under warranty.

    Sincere thanks.

    Hello

    I found the info that this unit is ready WLAN and is attributed to the WLAN option in option. Check please the Device Manager and see if the wireless adapter is listed under network adapter. If this is not the case, the device is without wireless network card.

    Let us know if the card is on board and we can write once again how the card must be activated.

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that the WLAN slot is placed under the keyboard. There is also the antenna cables (black and white cable). Update is not a problem, and you can only do so at your own risk of course. ;)

    Unfortunately I put t know exactly what WLAN card is compatible. If you want you can use the external solution. It is much easier.

  • Lenovo IdeaPad Z570 WiFi card upgrade question

    I decided to upgrade WiFi modem to my laptop at the more recent.

So, I bought this WLAN card key and after installation of the equipment THAT BIOS began to display error message "104 network device not detected. Even though I have updated the BIOS to the latest version available.

    It would be good to have some explanations on the HCL. Otherwise, it seems that I just lost my money on incompatible hardware.

  • New Wifi card on 4101sl Pavilion DV3

    Hi all!
    I have a new router, with Cabinet WiFi frequency: 2.4 and 5 ghz...
    My laptop supports only 2.4 ghz. It is possible to replace my wireless card with a new wifi card supporting 5 ghz?
    BIOS restricts the types of cards to use, or can be used to any Mini PCI Express?

    For example, I buy Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN?

    It is a useful update? There is a clear difference between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz?

    Thank you for attention

    5 ghz provides wireless performance you are right to want to use it. You also reason ask if BIOS limits your choice in wireless for the laptop adapters, because there is a limit. The manual says it can use an Intel Ultimate-N 6300 which can operate in the 5 ghz band:
