Perfect fit for HP Pavilion dv6-2170us

I connected this [Mini PCI-E to M.2 Converter for NGFF M.2 Key A+E Laptop] to AX210NGW WiFi Card and installed in the HP Pavilion dv6-2170us. There was enough room to fit a full size card and attach it using the top right hole. Yes, it was difficult to connect the tiny antenna wires, but certainly doable with good vision or magnification. I have decided on 2x reading glasses. Once the antenna connectors were aligned, I used the flat back of the supplied screwdriver to press them into place to make a nice click. Be careful, it took about 10 minutes to unscrew the laptop lid before the job was done. Note. Using the new WiFi cards in an HP DV6 laptop will likely require using a BIOS that has been modified to remove the blacklist blocking that HP uses to block third-party devices. Cards.

Pros
  • New in my collection
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok
