Replace Spectre 13 x2 13t-h200 single band wireless network adaptor with a dual band adaptor

What is the path taken to upgrade the installed single band wireless network card with a dual band card.

Hi rb1950, and welcome to the HP Forums! 
I understand that you would like the 'How to' information on changing your single band wireless card for a dual band wireless card. To better guide you, could you please tell me the model number of your computer and the operating system that is running on it. Here are some guides for How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? and for Which Windows operating system am I running?.
Please let me know and I will try my best to find the information you need.
Thank you and have a great day!
I worked on behalf of HP.

  • V. Slow transfer speeds with new dual band Airport Extreme

    I have a new Airport Extreme (late 2009, dual band, full 'N' spec) which I am using to replace an older Airport Extreme (early 2008, 5Ghz, 'draft' N).
    I have a USB disk attached and was interested in benchmarking the transfer speed of the new Extreme, compared to the previous version. The results are puzzling / alarming.
    Shown below are transfer speeds (file copied to the attached USB drive) under different connection standards (2.4Ghz / 5Ghz & a/b/g/n)
    'Old' Airport Extreme
    5Ghz - 'draft' N : ~5-7 Mb/sec
    'New' Airport Extreme
    2.4Ghz - b/g : ~3-5 Mb/sec
    5.0Ghz - a : ~3-7 Mb/sec
    5.0Ghz - N : ~200 Kb/sec
    Hence transfer speeds appear to collapse when I try to make use of the 'N' spec with the latest Extreme. I have tried altering items such as - wide channels (on / off), interference robustness (on / off), 5Ghz channel (manual, instead of auto), with no upside.
    I seem to be at the point of concluding that either
    1. I have a 'broken' Airport Extreme
    2. The WiFi card on my early 2008 iMac (which implements I guess the 'draft' N standard) is 'incompatible' with new the Airport Extreme under a 'N' connection.
    Any thoughts ?

    Since all devices in my wireless network are capable of latest 802.11n protocol, I really do not need older and slower 802.11a/b/g protocols. To achieve above 200 Mbit/sec, 5GHz band with wide channel option turned on is really necessary. Thus I really wish I can turn off the 2.4GHz radio band (seems Apple has set this band as default) of my new dual band Airport Extreme to avoid unwanted bandwidth degradation. Unfortunately this is not possible with radio mode setting in Airport Utility.
    The best I can do to force connection with 5GHz radio band (with quite consistent result) is as follows:
    On Airport Extreme through [Airport Utility>Wireless] :
    Radio Mode: 802.11n only (5Ghz) - 802.11b/g/n
    More Options>Wireless Network Option>Transmit Power: 100%
    More Options>Wireless Network Option>Use Wide Channels: checked
    More Options>Wireless Network Option>5 GHz Network Name:
    checked and same network name with extra suffix "(5 GHz)"
    On 27" iMac through [System Preferences>Network>AirPort>Advanced>AirPort]:
    Preferred Networks:
    Create only one profile in Preferred Networks for the above network name with suffix "(5GHz)"
    Uncheck the option [Remember networks this computer has joined] to ensure there is only one profile under Preferred Networks .
    Once all above settings are done, restart Airport Extreme in Airport Utility. Your computer should connect wirelessly to the base station through 5GHz band after booting most of the time. Even when it is not occasionally, simply go to the Airport icon in main menu bar and click on the network name with suffix "(5GHz)" in dropped-down list to connect manually. With all these settings, I have achieved 300 Mbit/sec bandwidth on my iMac most of the time for fast Time Machine backup.
    How I wish feature for better radio mode control by end user will be implemented in next update of Airport Utility. Apple should trust end user's brain better than artificial intelligence (or ignorance ?) in wireless network implementation. Wireless traffic between the two radio bands and among various wireless devices should be segregated specifically in Airport Utility by end users whenever dual band Airport base stations are in use.

  • How to set-up a DUAL BAND wireless network.

    Lots of people are reporting problems caused by replacing an existing wireless network with the new Airport Extreme 802.11n base station.
    * Xbox360 compatibility.
    * Airtunes issues
    * 802.11n slowed down by 802.11g devices
    One workaround is to set-up a dual-band network. Your old 802.11g base station looks after the older "g" devices. And the new Airport Extreme looks after the 802.11n devices.
    There are a number of benefits to this solution.
    * Everything that did work, carries on working. No reconfiguring needed.
    * Everything works at its fastest possible speed. You can use the full 270Mb 5Ghz band for n devices.
    * 802.11g traffic does not interfere with 802.11n traffic at all.
    * It's easy to set up.
    The downside is
    * There are two boxes. I want one.
    This is the diagram (again)
    Note that in this configuration, the new Airport Extreme base station is set-up in Bridging Mode.

    I've done some testing and here are my findings:
    - 2 Computers, 1 C2D N enabled and iMac G only in 2 diff rooms
    - 2 AX to stream music
    - Transfer of a 446 Mb avi file from Airdisk to C2D
    - 2 Wifi Networks: 1) G only from a Netopia 2) Depending from settings from AE(n), Both Base Station are placed aside. When G network is available both AX are connected.
    - With or No airtunes means a stream to the 2 AX from iMac while transferring the 446 Mb file to the C2D.
    446 MB / AE(n) 5 Ghz N / No Airtunes / Netopia Off / 2:47
    446 MB / AE(n) 2.4 Ghz N Only / Auto Ch / No Airtunes / Netopia Off / 2:13
    446 MB / AE(n) 5 Ghz N / No Airtunes / Netopia On / 3:14
    446 MB / AE(n) 5 Ghz N / With Airtunes / Netopia On / 3:20
    446 MB / AE(n) 2.4 Ghz N Only / Auto Ch/ No Airtunes / Netopia On / 2:29
    446 MB / AE(n) 2.4 Ghz N Only / Auto Ch / With Airt / Netopia On / Unusable
    446 MB / AE(n) 2.4 Ghz Mixed / Auto Ch / No Airtunes / Netopia Off / 2:17
    446 MB / AE(n) 2.4 Ghz Mixed / Auto Ch / With Airtunes / Netopia Off / 3:03
    Here are the findings:
    - Without any G network (meaning no Airtunes possible) the 2.4 Ghz N Only performs much better than the 5 Ghz N
    - While streaming Music the 2.4 Ghz Mixed performs better then the 5 Ghz N (Dual Band Network)!
    These are my findings with my settings, it could be different, but I'm pretty sure you will find the same behavior on your side. And BTW, the theoretical thru-put means nothing, only real life usage testing is worth something. So on my side I'm going for a single mixed network.
    Hope this sheds light for some of you.

  • No more WDS networking in the new dual band airport extreme?

    we had a network of 3 airport extremes in our small 2 story design studio, we bought a new dual band to see if it would help with our DSL problem [it did], but there is no more WDS networking option available. this unit replaced our MAIN WDS unit. so now we are left with 'extending the network' option. it seems to be working, but what is the reason behind no more WDS?

    WDS gives you more control over your network. You can set-up certain base stations as relays and others as remotes. Using the "Extend a network" option just tells the base stations to try and find other base stations. It is much easier for a novice to set-up, and I think this is probably why Apple has highlighted this feature as opposed to WDS (where you have to specify MAC addresses for all base stations and remotes).
    WDS is nice if you have a mixed network with older b/g base stations since they don't have the option to "Extend a network" or "Allow this network to be extended".

  • Issue with new dual band APE

    I am having an issue keeping a good connection on the 5ghz channel with my new dual band airport extreme. Let me explain my current network. I just purchased a new APE. Airport utility shows it as AirPort Extreme Dual Band II with 7.5.1 firmware. I have it running a 2.4ghz G network and a 5ghz N network. In the basement I have my older APE which is a Airport Extreme N with gigabit ethernet (7.4.2 firmware). It is set to join 5ghz network from the dual band and then acts as a hub to my gaming Windows PC, ps3, and xbox. The 5ghz network is very spotty, it will work fine and I can browse away for about a minute and then it will just stop. My laptop and ipad will still show full signal strength, safari will just end up timing out while waiting. If I move them over to the 2.4ghz G network everything works fine, except of course file transfers which are slow because of being on the G network. Also should the older router be on a higher version number of firmware? I have tried checking for updates on both.

    +Something seems off.+
    Absolutely.
    At 2.4 GHz, the high noise level indicates that you are experiencing interference from another wireless network (do you see other networks in iStumbler?), cordless phones (could be yours or your neighbors', a nearby wireless security system, microwave interference...lots of possibilities.
    iStumber may not display "hidden" networks. Most modern routers (Apple included) allow users to "hide" their network, so it's possible that you may be experiencing interference from a wireless network that you cannot "see".
    If you have cordless phones, you might want to pick a time when you can power them and their base stations completely down for a few hours to see if the wireless signal improves and noise drops on your network. Not much you can do about a neighbor's cordless phone or security system.
    Experiment with different channel settings on your 2.4 GHz wireless as well.
    Most cordless phone will not interfere with 5 GHz. I can't explain why your 5 GHz signal is so low..and the noise high..if you are close to the router and have line of sight between devices. Try a few different channel settings on 5 GHz as well.
    Let us know what you find.

  • 802.1X wireless network problems with Intel Mac

    To login to the wireless network at my school I have to use an 802.1X connection authenticating with TTLS, TLS, EAP-FAST and PEAP protocols.
    This works intermitently. Some days my MacBook logs on quickly with no problems at all but most days it has a self assigned IP address and I can't use the internet. My friend also uses a MacBook, which acts in the same way. Some days she manages to get on, some days I can get on and some days we are both on together. The problem is really irritating!! We get no support from the techs as we are the only Mac people in the school. The rest of the staff have PCs. The techs are just trying to use this issue to justify why letting people lease Macs is a problem and stop other staff from leasing them in the future.
    I did find a solution at
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=425113&tstart=0
    but this was written in 2006 and I wonderered if this was still valid.
    Can anyone help? please???

    I am a tech at our school and we have the same problems. still trying to find a permanent solution!
    If you turn airport off, then turn on again, (from system prefs > network) does it change from "self-assigned IP Address" to "Authenticated via PEAP)?
    the macs are more and more popular at our school, so its becoming more and more of an issue.

  • Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter - With any driver: "The device instance name is invalid"

    Hello there,
    I was trying to install various "Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter" drivers, with versions ranging from 2007 to 2010, both from the manufacturer and specifically for this computer (a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile) and others from here:
    http://www.atheros.cz/atheros-wireless-download.php?chipset=22&system=3
    All of them are for Windows Vista 32bit.
    The computer had previous drivers installed and working, but also had a network problem. In the process of figuring out what was causing it, I tried to install newer drivers to see if that was the problem. It turns out the network problem was due to a different
    thing that is now fixed (some dependencies of the WLAN Configuration service were turned off), but I'm still stuck installing the new drivers.
    TL;DR:
    However, every time I install new drivers, after install, Windows says that
    "The device instance name is invalid", regardless of what drivers I install. I even tried to install drivers for different hardware in that slot just to see what it told me and IT STILL gave me the same error. I also tried to uninstall the
    current driver, checking the box to delete the driver's software, running CCleaner and then deleting
    "athr.sys" from the Windows/Drivers folder and
    "oem8.inf" from Windows/Inf as those files were referenced in the driver's properties. The install still gives me the same error.
    The fact that it gives me this error with any driver leads me to believe it's Windows' fault and not the driver's.
    Note: I am translating from the original in Portuguese. "The device instance name is invalid" is the closest/correct translation and seems about right with the info I find online regarding the english version of Vista and how it refers to devices.
    This (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/microsoft.public.development.device.drivers/yFa_XnlcLJQ) and this (http://finderr.net/windows/pt-PT/O-nome-da-inst%C3%A2ncia-do-dispositivo-%C3%A9-inv%C3%A1lido-/2082573452) also seems to confirm that, though it
    doesn't help me. It may be that the text is actually different in english Vista but I also searched for driver instead of device or stuff like "The device instance name appears to be invalid" and can't find anything either.
    I also did SFC /SCANNOW a while ago and it found no errors.  I then repeated it again after this problem and this time, SFC found errors BUT it couldn't repair all of them. Here is the CBS log:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/bayum2rsezxpmre/CBS.log
    Thank you for the help!
    EDIT: The Notebook model is a Fujitsu-Siemens ESPRIMO Mobile V5535 and their support drivers can be found here (after specifying the OS and model):
    http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/download/ShowFiles.asp
    EDIT2:
    The last SFC /scannow scan repaired everything left to repair. The system restore option can't be used because the earliest one still has the (suposedly faulty) drivers installed.
    This computer has a Win Vista serial number, but no CD and the second partition doesn't have any kind of backup. The second partition is empty though. So, as a last resort, if I really don't have a choice, I'll try to do an upgrade install to see if that fixes
    it and if that still doesn't fix it I'll have to move everything in the users folder to the second partition and format the first which is a bummer :/
    EDIT: Here is the setup.api.log that was inside C:\Windows\Inf and details the instalation process of all the drivers:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/tyxs1e4r7rxofch/setupapi.dev.log
    I'm still trying to read into that setup.api.log file.

    So, can I assume that the only way to fix this error is to download an iso of Windows Vista, unninstall my service packs, upgrade install Vista, run Vistalizator to change the language to Portuguese and then install Service Pack 1 & 2?
    EDIT: Alright, so I formatted the thing since the driver bug wouldn't give me a break. The details on that can be found searching for the same thread title either on tomshardware or vistaforums if anyone happens to find this looking for the same error.
    I have a real knack for bumping heads with errors that nobody else gets that somehow turn into unfixable bugs. At least if someone else searches for this problem they'll know what to do.

  • Wireless Network Management with Multiple SSIDs in one Wireless Profile

    Could anybody explain me about how Multiple SSIDs in one Wireless Network Name (Network Profile) ? Configuration will be pushed to Windows 7 Pro from Wins Server 2008 R2.
    Objective: Multiple office locations will have different SSIDs and when the laptop user travels one location to another, he/she could connect to wireless networks at any offices without any configuration change but utilizing "Automatically use my Windows
    logon name and password (and domain if any.)" setting in EAP MSCHAPv2 properties. 
    Network Name: Enterprise
    SSIDS: SFO-WIFI, LAX-WIFI,CHI-WIFI,NYC-WIFI,
    Network Type:Access Point
    Security Type: WPA2-Enterprise
    Encryption Type: AES
    Network Authentication Method: Microsoft:Protect EAP(PEAP)
    My question is: (1) Will Windows try all the SSIDs in order to get connected to the Wireless Network at the office? (Let's say, user is in NYC, but will Windows try to find SFO-WIFI SSID first, wait until time out, retry?, and moves on to LAS-WIFI SSID,
    wait until time out, retry?, and moves on to CHI-WIFI and finally tries NYC-WIFI SSID and found the SSID in the beacon from Access Point and authenticates through RADIUS?
    (2) If the answer is YES, what is the waiting time/timeout setting for one SSID before moves on to another?
    (3) If the answer is NO, what is the process to get user connected to NYC-WIFI SSID when he/she is in NYC office within the range of that SSID?

    Hello Ninjago_2224,
    About the multiple office location have different SSIDs, does the location A has the signal used in
    location D?
    Please go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center
    , and then click Manage wireless networks.
    The windows will try to connect to these networks in the order listed.
    Please check if the four SSID pushed by Windows Server 2008 is listed as mentioned above.
    If the location A have the location D SSID and the location D SSID has higher priority, the Windows will connect to
    location D SSID.
    So about the question 1, the Windows will try the SSID in order.
    About the question 2, I can’t find the accurate time that test one SSID and move to another. But based on my test, it is very fast.
    For more information, please take a look at the following article.

  • Disabled wireless network router with WD World Book

    I have recently updated iTunes and now everytime I start it up it says Updating iTunes Library, then after approx 1 minute the wireless network adaptor on my pc is disabled. The only way to re-enable it is to shut down the pc then then restart it. I've tried updating the drivers on the WPN111 USB adaptor but it hasn't made any difference.
    I'm using an external WD World book to store my music folders and I'm guessing it's something to do with this and iTunes?

  • Wireless Network Sharing with Neighbor

    If I'm sharing a wireless network with my neighbor, will AirPort Express Base Station work to enhance the wireless signal?

    Just to clarify here.....
    The Check "allow this network to be extended" in AirPort Utility > AirPort pane > Wireless tab that John Galt mentions is an adjustment that must be made to your neighbor's Apple AirPort router.
    Then you would configure the AirPort Express to "extend a wireless network".
    If the neighbor does not have an Apple router......then the Express will not help you. It's not compatible with products from other manufacturers for the purpose that you ask about.

  • 6502i with 5508WLC Dual-Band question

    I recently purchased a few 6502i APs and have them connected to our 5508 WLC.   I have all of the bands available, WMM, and all the MCS rates supported.   For some reason, I'm not seeing the new APs listed under "Dual-Band Radios".    Is there something I'm missing?

    Ha! no worries.  Ok, so 3602i/e, running at least 7.2 (possibly 7.1....) to support them.

  • Extending a wireless network n with an airport express g?

    I have my wireless network set up using a first gen airport extreme n base station.i now need to extend my network with my airport express g. Is this possible? To use my g airport express on a wireless n network?
    Thanks

    It's possible if you configure both AirPorts to "Participate in a WDS network".
    The upside to this is that you will have more wireless coverage.
    But the downsides are considerable:
    WDS operates only in "g" wireless mode, so you would lose all "n" wireless capability of the AirPort Extreme
    The bandwidth will be cut in half on the entire network. In effect, you will have a "g" wireless network running at half speed
    WDS is difficult for most users to configure. It 's easy to make a mistake and hard to recover without starting all over again on the setup
    I am not recommending WDS, but if you want to try it, Apple's instructions are here:

    Hi Joel,
    Simultaneous dual band = can process signals on both bands concurrently.

  • Add AE for air tunes to wireless network running with AE.

    I am sorry if this is a duplicate.. I did search but it is hard to distill out the different set up issues.
    Previously I had my imac hooked up via ethernet and used an AE to stream my tunes into the living room.
    I got a lap top at work and needed to be able to use it wirelessly at the same time my daughter gave me an AE. so I hooked up the recent AE to my cable modem using an ethernet cable and created a network that both my iMac and my mac laptop use for internet access.
    I forgot about the itunes as I had not been using it alot when the good weather came and I was outdoors so much, using the laptop So today, I try and turn on my itunes to stream into the living room and realize that AE had it's own network set up for streaming and that I needed to get the original AE to talk to the more recent AE, which is in the position of being my wirless hub. So I tried opening A set up utility to see if I can add the AE into the network. Not sure if this is the correct step but thought it was worth a try. But the utility software does not recognze there is this other AE out there.
    What do I do to bring the original AE into the network?
    Michelle

    Try the following:
    Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX that will be used for iTunes.
    o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
    To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
    AirPort tab
    o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    o Wireless Network: <select the existing AX's wireless network>
    Music tab
    o Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    o Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
    o iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)
