So I have a couple of old laptops that are still in use and both software and hardware are showing their age. Internet speeds are staggering and downloads take forever. This is a simple upgrade to replace your wireless card (like Atheros or Broadcom or maybe Realtek) connected to your laptop. Not only does this significantly increase internet speeds, but it also adds support for 5 GHz (commonly referred to as 5G WiFi) as well as Bluetooth. The installation is very easy. (Regarding HP Pavilion 17) First turn off your laptop. Open the bottom cover that covers the memory, hard drive, and Wi-Fi card. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the cover. Then there are 2 wires which are the antennas for your wifi. Disconnect these wires, unscrew the previous WiFi card with a screwdriver and carefully remove it. After that, take the new WiFi card, lay it at an angle, then push it in and screw it back onto the motherboard. Finally, reconnect the antenna wires. Close the lid and turn on the laptop. Usually you don't need to install drivers (because you already have a wireless driver installed). Linux users need not worry as the card is natively supported.
