    Wi-Fi Adapters
    « on: February 12, 2017, 06:02:06 PM »
    I have a HP Pavillion Notebook-17-g015dx with the Realtech RTL8188EE 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi Adapter. I read on a HP website that I can't have bluetooth with that particular adapter, but could replace it with the Atheros AR9565 802.11bgn + Bluetooth 4.0 Wi-Fi Adapter. I've been scouring the internet looking for this adapter and it's very hard to find. Is there another alternative to this? Any advice on this whole situation would be greatly appreciated.

    Get a Bluetooth USB dongle...you likely cant replace your other one as it's onboard...

    Did they mean to say the Wi-Fi would interfere with Bluetooth?
    The thing  you want is specific to the HP laptops. It s on Amazon. But it costs a lot.

    Why not just try a Bluetooth dongle?
