Re: windows 8 wifi problems

Hi okayson. To find a definitive list of compatible WLAN modules for your notebook. You can go to the HP Support page, and enter your model number. Once on your notebook's support page, go to the user guides. On the user guides page, you would want to locate a Maintenance And Service Guide.
In the manual locate the sections (may not be exactly titled as listed here) "Removal and replacement procedures" / "Component replacement procedures" / "WLAN module". That page should have a list of parts. If it is not explicitly listed, I would have no way of knowing if a WLAN module is compatible. You might just have to try it to be sure.
