5 GHz wifi card replacement for dv7-6c23cl (AMD A8)?

Laptop came with Broadcom 4313GN 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi Adapter.  It has Broadcom 20702 bluetooth adapter. Not sure if its build in to the wifi card. I'd like a dual band better card. I have WNDR3000 Netgear dual band router. This adapter connects only at 65Mbps max. with 2.4n. Any successful upgrades? Please help.

You're very welcome.
You can look at the service manual at the link below and in chapter 3 you will find an illustrated parts list with all components you can purchase with the HP part numbers.

Then to buy a part, you can enter the part # in the site below in the applicable box.

When you see the wireless cards available, the dual band card you see is only for notebooks with Intel processors--and it doesn't matter, as the part number for that card is incorrect and nobody knows what the right one is.
Changing a wireless card in an HP consumer notebook is nothing short of a nighmare due to the BIOS lock out of any cards not listed in the service manual for the specific model notebook.

  • AC wifi card upgrade for dv7-6b77dx?

    Hi.  I'm considering purchasing a router utilizing the new AC wireless standard and I'm wondering if there are any AC wifi cards that are approved for use in the US with the dv7-6b77dx?  I was looking specifically at the Intel 7260HMW but if there's any other AC wireless card that's approved for use I'm open to alternatives.  
    If there aren't any currently approved for use, is there any expected timeframe when one will be?  Thanks.
    This question was solved.

    Thanks Huffer.  I thought that was probably the case but figured I'd just check anyway.  Good info though to know that HP doesn't add new wifi cards to the approved list with bios updates.  Not what I wanted to hear of course but at least I know now not to wait for that and go with a USB adapter instead if AC wireless is something I really want.  
    FYI though for anyone else considering this upgrade, I just tested an AC USB adapter from my local Best Buy along w/a new AC router and I wasn't that impressed (great at short range but no better and actually worse than N at a distance which is what I really wanted it for).  Maybe that was just the router and adapter I tried (both Linksys) but for now I've decided to just return those and stick with the laptop's Centrino N card.

  • Hp Envy wifi card replacement

    Hi,  I want to replace my wifi card which intel centrino 2230, can any one tell me which wifi card other then intel is compatable with my laptop. thanks

    Changing the wifi card would change the MAC ID of the PC as well and that is why it would not be recomended.
    However, you can add a wifi card that is of the miniPCI spec.
    you can visit http://partsurfer.hp.com/search.aspx and check if there are any cards compatible with you PC listed.
    Just add the product number of your PC in the search box.
    Changing the card on the PC would also void your warranty in case of a failure caused by the new card.
    The easiest thing to do will be to just buy a USB wifi stick, these are very cheap and usually dont require drivers.

  • IMac G5 Graphic Card Replacement for blue screen problem

    When I turn on iMac, I only see blue screen, the apple technician said Need to replace graphic card,  Nvidia Gforce 7600GT 256.
    1, can it install in IMac?  Seem like it work for PC?
    2,  I had blue screen problem several time,  I think I turn on iMac too long, so it burn out graphic card.
    3,  I have 2007 G5 24" screen model,  is any durable and afford graphic card you recommend?
         Where to buy for cheaper price?
         Do I need to change mother board?
    4,  can I replace it by myself?  Any picture or video for graphic card replacement?
    Thank you.

    If you look around, you might be able to find someone who will replace just the chip on the graphics card, which is what usually fails. It will take someone highly skilled; they really have to know what they're doing--it's not an ordinary soldering job.
    Here's someone who found a non-Apple service to do this, and it proved to be far less expensive than a full logic board replacement. But I think this was in the UK.

  • PC-wifi Card adapter for mac

    ok so heres the problem. cingular offers a wifi card that would just plug into a pci slot on a pc laptop for internet access all over the nation. http://onlinestorez.cingular.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phones/phonedetails.jsp ?id=cdsku9870019
    pretty sweet stuff. now the box of the card only lists windows capability, but what i was wondering is if mac powerbooks have slots similar or equal to that of which i would find on a pc, or if there is an adapter that is made for such. the reason i dont know this is casue i dont own a mac as of now but i am a realestate agent and am planning on buying a laptop and i have my heart set on mac. i just need to make sure all my business needs are met, and this is one feature that i would find advantages. thanks for all your help.

    Only the 15" and 17" PowerBooks have CardBus slots which you can insert PC cards into.
    Your link does not work (asks me for my zip code which I don't have), so I can't work out which Cingular product you are referring to.
    These links may be informative.

  • Wifi card replacement 500-017c

    my pc is getting poor reception from the router, should I replace the wifi card and if so with what model

    Hi gdkurth, the wifi reception not allways depends on the computer wifi card(the receiver) it also can depend on the router that transmit the wifi signal, what is your wifi router model and what distance it is from the pc?

  • Wifi card replacement

    Would you please help me!
    I have a compaq presario cq56-207SG notebook pc. I have installed a new intel wifi card
    (model: 7260HMW), which does not function (wlan modul ID702 error). The old one was also from intel. Besides having updated the intel and hp drivers, the wifi card still does not function.
    How do I solve this problem? How do I get rid of the hp whitelist?
    THANK YOU!!!operating system windows 7#64

    You cannot get rid of the whitelist I am very sorry to say. It is coded into the BIOS and the BIOS is protected against modification.

  • PCI video card replacement for PowerMac G3 (Blue and White)

    Hi, I am new to this forum. I apologize if this issue has been addressed before, but I have been reading over the forum for the last 2 days and tried all the steps I could find. I have an old PowerMac G3 (Blue and White).
    It used to run fine. I had a friend with a similar computer and he
    needed a video card, so I gave him the one in my Mac G3, because I was not using it at the time.
    Now, I have decided I want to use it. I am running into an issue with the video (It takes PCI), I get no display, but I can hear the hard drive spin, it lights up, I hear the Apple "ding".
    I have about 6 PCI video cards laying around, and I have tried all of them, resetting the CUDA each time. Still cannot get a display.
    I have tried different slots on the motherboard, checked the PRAM battery, (it was good). Tried booting off a live Linux CD for power PCs, tried the commandoption+pr until I hear the apple "ding" go off 2x, I have tried a different monitor and monitor cable.
    Nothing seems to work, I need to know what I should try next.
    Thank you for your help in this matter.

    "I have about 6 PCI video cards laying around, and I have tried all of them, resetting the CUDA each time. Still cannot get a display."
    If these graphics cards are designed for use in PCs, they won't work in your Mac. Compatible graphics cards must be programmed with a Mac ROM. Some "PC" cards can have their EEPROM chip flashed with a Mac ROM, provided that someone has extracted the particular Mac ROM code for the card in question. A web search will provide leads for that. If you just want a decent graphics card, go for a Radeon 7000 Mac Edition (2002 vintage card). If you check eBay, you should be able to find a flashed "PC" Radeon 7000 card. I'd try to get the one with 64 MBs of DDR memory, as opposed to the 32 MB model. If you don't mind spending more $$, you can find a more current PCI graphics card for your G3, like the Radeon 9200 at Other World Computing.

  • W520 Wifi-card replacement issue

    I ordered my W520 with the ThinkPad wireless card featuring the Realtek 8188CE chipset. After going through a few Linux installs and realizing that this card had terrible Linux support, I decided to upgrade on my own to the Intel 6200, believing this was the upgraded chip. Upon starting my computer with that card installed, it went through the BIOS, then failed to boot due to an incompatible wireless card. Realizing I made a mistake I returned that card and switched back to the Realtek. Recently I've been wanting to go back to Linux, so I decided to try and upgrade again, but made sure to get the Intel Centrion Advanced-N 6205 card, or the upgrade option from Lenovo that is shown. This still does not work for me unfortuantely and it's really bugging me. Does anyone have any tips/tricks/ideas/solutions?

    Where can Lenovo branded cards be found? I've tried using the IBM site for replacement parts, and the part number is never found (I've tried 60Y3247, the Realtek, and 60Y3252, what the Intel is supposed to be if my research is correct) and they're not listed on the Lenovo site.
