If you’re looking to upgrade the Wi-Fi card in your laptop, it’s important to know that even though your notebook might not have a BIOS whitelist, this doesn’t mean any Wi-Fi card will automatically work. To ensure compatibility, you need to choose a non-vPro version of the Intel Wi-Fi card.
First things first, make sure the Wi-Fi card you pick is a non-vPro model. VPro versions are often designed for business management features, which could cause compatibility issues with your system.
When selecting a new Wi-Fi card, match the SPS number (the specific part number stamped on the card) with the HP part number. This matching ensures that the hardware will work smoothly with your laptop.
Here are some recommended options based on different Wi-Fi standards:
For Wi-Fi 7, consider the Intel BE200 M.2 2230 Wi-Fi 7 + Bluetooth 5.4 non-vPro. This card is sold under HP part number N39883-005.
For Wi-Fi 6E, the Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E 2×2 AX + Bluetooth 5.2 M.2 2230 non-vPro is a good choice. It corresponds to HP part number / SPS number M27269-005.
For Wi-Fi 6, look for the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200, which offers 802.11ax and Bluetooth 5, again in a non-vPro version. Its matching HP part number is L35282-005.
If you’re unsure about the installation process or need detailed guidance, check out the official service manual for your laptop. You can find it here: HP 15 Laptop PC (Intel) HP 15g Laptop PCHP 15q Laptop PC Maintenance and Service Guide.
By matching the correct part numbers and choosing non-vPro models, you’ll give yourself the best chance of successfully upgrading your Wi-Fi capabilities without any issues.
