It would be nice to have a picture or at least the model name and number for the current wireless card, so that we can assist you. Even a Device ID can be handy.

Right so basically a Mini PCIe card (HMC).
So 2 issues seems to arise from this.
1) Does HP still use Whitelists (Which will block WiFi upgrades)
2) Finding a WiFi 6 card in HMC format. (Else you will need a NGFF m.2 to Mini PCI-e adaptor)
I have found one which seems to be a BGA AX200 mounted to a HMC PCB.

So that makes it easier.
Look for a Intel AX200NGW this is an AX Wifi card that will work in there so long there is no whitelist issues. -

The card itself is working because after a while i touched the wifi card and felt some heat also the antenna areaLast edited by a moderator: Apr 27, 2021 -

After that i restarted still didn't not see it in device manager
So, i downloaded the drivers for it from intel's website and installed them and yet it did not show up
After that i went to device manager and added it as a legacy hardware and got this error

Did you get the NGW version of the card? As there are two versions of the same card one is for systems without CVNI (For systems without CVNI support like yours) then theres one with CVNI which wouldn't work on your system.

Failing that you might need to do the Tape pin 20 trick.
Although on NGFF its a different set of pins

I figured that the card is just not detected in the system these are just the drivers installed
So is it whitelist thing??

NGFF also has power pins.

Right take a photo of both wireless cards side by side front and back.
As close as possible and clear as possible

It should work, are you able to test the card in another system?
Try taping the inner pin on the E slice see if that helps.

Do you have another laptop or system yo test the new card in to insure its a working card.
If not it looks like WiFi 5 is as far as you can go, although technically it should work.

Put in your current one and make sure that is still working though.
Maybe some one else with more knowledge can help.
