    HP Pavilion 15 laptop - WiFi/WLAN card upgrade help


    Hello,
    I have a question about my secondary laptop which i could do with upgrading. It is a HP Pavilion laptop, model number 15-p189na. It runs Windows 10.

    The day to day usage of this laptop is great, it has an i5-4288U, 8GB and 1.5TB storage. The only problem I have with this laptop is the abysmal Wi-Fi speeds that I get, it has a 2.4ghz only Wi-Fi card which I believe is a Realtek RT8723BE. It does have Bluetooth as well but in order to get decent speeds, I have to use a 5GHz USB plug in wireless adapter.

    I have heard that HP whitelist some of their components, so you can only upgrade to a certain model. Is there any way I can upgrade the Wi-Fi card to something that supports wireless AC, as well as 5GHz?

    I am not worried about the disassembly process as I also plan to upgrade from the 1.5TB spinny disk to a 512GB SSD, as well as a RAM upgrade from 8GB to 16GB.

    Any help and advice greatly appreciated!

    :)

    SDIMM upgrade for Hp Pavilion 15.6 laptop cs0064st

    The Pavilion is spec'd for a maximum of 16 GB (2 X 8GB). I suggest checking here: RAM & SSD Upgrades | HP - Compaq Pavilion 15-cs0064st | Crucial.com. You may be able to find RAM elsewhere (like Newegg.com) more cheaply, though.

    32 GB of Optane memory sounds like a cache for a spinning hard drive. Is that what you have? If you upgrade the main drive to an SSD, the optane cache will be of little or no use. (No harm, just pointless.)
