5GHz wifi card for HP 4530

[speedyrazor]

Hi, I currently have a 4530s with an Atheros AR5B195 on Mavericks 10.9.1, all working and seeing my 2.4MHz wireless network. What are my options for connecting to a 5GHz wireless network please?

Cheers.

Can I just install this card for dual band 5GHz, Atheros AR5BHB92 / AR9280?

No. The 4530s implements a whitelist.

You would need to rebrand the card as an AR9285. See: http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-probook/115110-rebranding-atheros-928x-cards-guide.html

What do you use in your 5430s, what would you recommend?

I use AR5B195 in my 4530s. It came with it. I don't have a 5430s.

Doh! I got the 5 and the 4 round the wrong way, I meant to say 4530s.
Do you get 5GHz from your AR5B195?

No. The AR5B195 has AR9280 which lacks 5Ghz.

Is the Atheros AR5B95 the same as the AR9285?
Can I use this card, and then re-brand it:

Yes.

AR5B95 has AR9285 Wifi.
AR5B195 has AR9285 WiFi + AR3011 BT.

Neither are 5Ghz capable.

 

[speedyrazor]

Yes.

AR5B95 has AR9285 Wifi.
AR5B195 has AR9285 WiFi + AR3011 BT.

So they both use AR9285 Wifi, but only the AR5B95 does 5GHz?
