Help Selecting a Wifi Card (Fixed)

[bennybobw]

I'd like to have WiFI + Bluetooth on my HP Probook G4. It looks like I accidentally bought the wrong size card. I got the BCM43225HMB half size mini PCI-E card and here's a picture of it next to the actual wifi card. Excuse my noob-ishness but I'm not sure what size slot that is. Is it M2? Is there an M2 card I can get that will work?

Ok, I looked at the manual for my machine. Other "supported" cards include:

• Realtek RTL8723BE-VB
• Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168
• Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265
• Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265NV

The info I could find on these cards is that they're the M2 2230 form factor, so I think that means I can use the BCM94352Z. That one looks hard to find though, but I think I can use the DW1820A BCM94350ZAE The bluetooth/wifi guide seems to suggest it works.

Can anyone confirm?

Pulled the card out of the machine, it's definitely an M2 2230 A+E form factor, so I'm giving the DW1820A BCM94350ZAE a shot. We'll see if it works.
