Replacement of wifi card

I have a hp pavilion dv7 home premium, win 7premium, intel core i7 processor. Would like to replace the wifi card; currently intel 1000, to intel 6250. The bios does not recognize the 6250. My bios ver is F.1c insyde. Is there an update that will allow me to use the 6250 wifi card?
Thanks for any help

We need the full model number but likely not. If the laptop is more than about a year old there is a BIOS whitelist that will prevent unapproved wifi cards from being used. Need the exact model number to know what is listed for it.

Is it possible to replace the wifi card with another one?

Hi
I have a t400 with intel 5100 wifi card and now I want to install mac os on my laptop.
problem is that mac os does not detect the 5100 series of wifi card and I want to know whether it is possible to replace the current 5100 model with a older series?
Is there any certified service center in Uppsala/ Sweden to do that?
Thanks,
Solved!

Lenovo restricts the wireless cards to Lenovo branded units certified to work with the machine. This is done through a whitelist in the system BIOS. I recently disassembled the latest (version 3.14-1.06) T500/W500 BIOS and found the following whitelist table. This is raw big endian hex appended with what I found by searching the device ID's. Redundant entries are for varying vendor IDs.

Your T400 is from the same lineup and probably has the same list. Remember, you'll need to purchase a Lenovo branded unit.
Also look for a PM with additional information.

Can I replace stock wifi card with an Intel 6235 Wifi/Bluetooth PCI-e card in my N580?

I have a PCI-e WiFi/BT combo card that worked in my HP laptop, but when I put it in the N580, It would not boot and said the wifi card was not authorized and I would have to remove it and replace with an authorized card. There are SO many different card available, I just want to find the correct one that will fit in the BIOS Whitelist.
I'm looking for a Dual Band wifi with Bluetooth 4.0 preferred. Something like this. Would this one on eBay work or is there another card I would need.
Thanks!

Hello and welcome,
Whatever card you use, it MUST have a Lenovo FRU number. Cards that will pass the BIOS whitelist have been modified to provide a specific subsystem ID to BIOS. Reputable sellers will list the Lenovo FRU if their card is compatible.
For example, a generic Intel 6150NX will not pass the whitelist, but a 6150NX with a 20002543 FRU number will pass.
Here's the list from the N580 Hardware Maintenance Manual:

Probably not what you wanted to hear, but that's the reality of the situation.

Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02642701.pdf
Supported wireless cards are listed in chapter 3 starting on page 24.
From the looks of it, you have a choice of the Atheros AR9280 802.11a/b/g/n 2x2 WiFi Adapter, or the
Broadcom 4322 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN adapter.
You must only get one of the cards listed in the service manual and they MUST have the HP part # on them, or they WILL NOT work in your notebook.
Make sure you choose a card with the part # listed for your locale.

Hi,
I have a laptop from the same series (see the signature) and have modded BIOS on it. That laptop definitely support Intel 5100 wireless chip (the part number is in the maintenance guide and I can provided if needed). I can also send that BIOS so you may flash it and use any wifi you want..

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?

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.

Will this WiFi card work in my DV6500?

I need to replace the WiFi card. This one is cheap!

No it has to be specifically HP compatible. HP blocks use of any but its white list of wireless cards in the BIOS so if you put in an unsupported card you get a message on bootup and can go no further.

Lenovo yoga 213 wifi card not working in the new laptop

I purchaed lenovo yoga 213 from Best Buy Boston and have brought to India.From the day one,the Bluetooth and Wifi is not working.On taking to their authorised service centr-Hitech technologies they have tried to replace the wifi card but even they are not able to solve the problem.I am trying to contact Lenovo for replacement of Laptop,but there is no response from them.What should I do?

Lenovo service centre has done all these after getting a replacement card
from Lenovo and again they have reported that the wifi replacement card
recieved is defective ,so they have asked for 2 nd time replacement of
wificard as well as the touchpad which they say carries the antenna for
wifi.The bottom line is i am tired of running around to service centre and
have not been able to use the laptop from the time i have bought the
laptop.I thought if there is a manufacturing defect lenovo,being a reputed
brand will replace the laptop.

TX2500 (and other TX's??) with BROADCOM 4321 WiFi cards, Win7

Maybe I'm the only one here with this problem, although given HP's history, I doubt that very much. So I have a TX2510z, and even though I customized the heck out of this thing, for some silly reason, I didn't buy the Intel WiFi card. (My Bad, never again!!). I have had almost continual problems with the WiFi connecting to Enterprise class wireless access points. (Such as Cisco, Sonicwall, and a couple others.) I've NEVER had a problem with residential class AP's (Linksys blue boxes, D-Link, Belkin, Etc.) I've replaced the WiFI card like three times now (thank Greyskull I DID buy the extended warranty and ADR package!!!!) I spent more hours talking to a "Service Case Manager" than I did to my wife for a while there. I finally had had enough, and in a fit of loathing, upgraded to Win 7 (enterprise 64), hoping that a more advanced OS would have better drivers. It kinda did, for a while. Almost all features of the WiFi card were working until yesterday. All of a sudden I lost all of my associations, and had to re-connect to them with the wizard. Oddly, one of the Ciscos I had been using, I couldnt add manually now. I had to use the wizard. WHen I came home to my Belkin, which had been flawless to this point wasn't even visible to the TX now. ALL of my other devices were interacting with the Belkin appropriately. I even attempted to manually add with a fixed IP addy, but it was like it wasn't there. It was exactly how the TX had been acting under Vista. Randomly ignoring AP's. I was about an inch from throwing the whole thing out into the snow. I happened to find a link which appears to have solved my problems (at least for now). :::
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=uk&prodTypeId=32...
And here is the forum thread I found it in. :::
Microsoft Support Forum
As I said, so far its working. I will find out how it manages the Ciscos tomorrow at work. If anyone has been having the WiFi issue with their TX series and Broadcom WiFi, please post something so I at least know I'm not alone/ crazy. I hope this post can help if you are haveing these issues.

I'd say go with Middleton BIOS either way (SATA II). In which case, get a newfangled 802.11ac card while you're at it.

Dead laptop - bad wifi card or ???

Hi all,
Oddball question: I have a Lenovo t410i that is completely dead. About two years ago, I dropped a bit of water on the keyboard, and something got fried so that the keys wouldn't type correctly anymore. When I went to replace the keyboard, I accidentally ripped one of the cables from the Intel Wifi Card (model 622anhmw). When this happened, the laptop would not power on. After two years, I am finally sitting down to try and fix this, but before I go buy a new wifi card (the cable was ripped out with the solder connection), I wanted to ask if anyone out there knew whether simply replacing the wifi card will actually solve the problem.
Seems like it's a pretty strange thing for the laptop to route all power through this tiny card, but I've seen stranger things.
Thanks!

My WAG is a blown fuse (if there are any in that laptop) or something else that got yanked on and shorted when the cable was ripped out.
You'll need one of the members, mods, or gurus her on the forums with repair experience to offer advice. Sorry, it's above my pay grade.

Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn Wifi Card - Possible Issues [SOLVED]

Dear Lucky owners of such a card, At least from my experience I realized it is not that bad card, even if most probably many production pieces were faulty or not working properly, and many issues can be resolved. Let me list in order of time the issues I faced and solved about this wifi card: 0) First issue is not about RT3290 card itself but it is related to 802.11w encryption compatibility in between Windows8 and Cisco not allowing 802.11n speed rates so failing to G speeds only. - SOLUTIONS: a. As first test I would recommend trying another router from different brand to see if connecting at 802.11n speed rates b. If you prove point a issue, then try to fix the issue based on following post (in which you can see the reply from myself Emanuele on the 29th of Nov 2014): https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/113836/windows-8-clients-cant-associate-cisco-unified-wireless 1) Signal strenght issue: original wifi card RT3290 installed on my HP laptop was having really bad antenna, with signal fluctuating and sometimes bad even really close to any Router I tried. - SOLUTION: Replace the RT3290 card even with same new card. (In my case as laptop was under warranty, I proved the issue via screenshots and they replaced with new card solving my signal strenght issue). 2) Original issue (1) was actually resolved after HP replaced the wifi card with same model, but with the latest driver installed 5.0.45 seems like wifi rates change too frequently based on high sensitivity of the driver itself, so that suggested me issue was still there, so making me re-testing anything from scratch. - SOLUTION: Install 5.0.37 Driver - frequent rate changes issue (with driver 5.0.45) disappears and sensitivity of signal to rate changes seems to be a really good compromise to have good throughput. 3) To check out 2nd issue above I started again using a third party software inSSIDer free version to check signal while I was doing speedtest on web.
- RESOLUTION:
inSSIDer normally works on Windows7 without any issue but on Windows8 (at least tested with RT3290) I have just discovered somehow this software was slowing down wifi card performance drastically showing a speed up to 0.1Mbps rather than 40Mbps. Simply closing the application issue was not recurring, so uninstalled it and after solving all the other issues above this card works perfectly (at least so far ) Hope this post will be informative and will help other about-to-get-mad guys as me

Hye. After I read up your solutions, I am quite impressive and really want to try out those solutions. However, I am not very computer wise and I really appreciate if you make a video on solving this problem. Up to you if you want to upload it on the youtube (so that others with similar problem can view it and solve the problem too) or you want to direct email to me ( [email protected] ). I really hope you can help me because I am stuck with this problem since last year. Thank you!!!

Replacing the Realtek wifi card with an Intel one

Hey everyone,
I am trying to replace the poor performing realtek wifi module with an Intel Centrino one on my T420.
I purchased an "Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205" which is one of the chips the T420 comes with.
Apparently my chip is not whitelisted, as I could not boot with it plugged in.
Lenovo support was unable to tell me where to get a Lenovo branded chip.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance!
Solved!

Hello and welcome,
As you've discovered, wifi cards have to be the correct model (Intel xyz) and have a Lenovo FRU number.
I can't link to the T420 Hardware Maintenance Manual at the moment - support is undergoing maintenance
Here are the Intel models and FRUs from my local T420 HMM:
Wireless-N 1000       60Y3241
Advanced-N 6205 (2x2 AGN) 60Y3253
Ultimate-N 6300                       60Y3233
Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250, WW SKU       60Y3195
Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250, Russia SKU   60Y3209
Hopefully that helps your search.

What replacement wifi card do i need for iMac 21.5-inch EMC 2308 late 2009 model

Need to replace wifi card. For the life of me, I can't find the exact model # of wifi card I will need. Only that I need "AirPort Extreme (802.11g/n)," but when I search for that, I get all sorts of different shaped and sized cards that meet those specs.

I would try giving them a call at their support number. They may be able to help both identify the correct part and know where you can get a replacement. In addition, you may also want to consider getting a wireless USB adapter. You would use this instead of the internal card. There are a number of vendors providing these as well.
