Damaged cables or connectors can degrade notebook performance. Use care when disconnecting the wireless antenna cables from the Mini PCI card. Carefully disconnect the two wireless antenna cables from the Mini PCI card with small needle-nose pliers or tweezers.Use your finger or a flat-bladed tool to lift the outside edge of the Mini PCI cover and remove.Remove the Phillips-head screw that secures the Mini PCI cover to the bottom of the notebook.Step 2 - Remove the wireless LAN Mini PCI card
Use your finger to lift the battery up and out.
Slide and hold the battery release latch to the unlock position.NOTE: These instructions are general and may not apply to every HP notebook PC. Please follow the below steps to reseat the wireless card. It looks like you were interacting with but he is out of the office today so I'll take over from here. Then again, maybe these settings are very specific to Realtek's or ALFA's implementation, so perhaps no one outside of Realtek or ALFA would know what they mean, since there doesn't seem to be any public documentation about them.Am the The_Fossette.
Maybe someone with deep knowledge of how Bluetooth AFH works might know what these settings mean. The Adaptivity settings you're seeing don't seem to have any direct correlation to parts of the ETSI adaptivity test, so it's hard for me to say what it's all about. It probably has a stripped-down Bluetooth radio that simply tells other Bluetooth radios to stop using the frequencies that its Wi-Fi radio is using. I note that ALFA says your adapter contains some kind of anti-Bluetooth-interference device, which is probably what this is all about. "Adaptivity" seems to relate to ETSI's (European Technology Standards Institute's) adaptive frequency hopping requirements which are mostly for Bluetooth. It allows you to get greater better signal strength, and thus better throughput, at range. Beamforming is a standard part of 802.11n and 802.11ac. You want it on for both VHT and HT.īeamCap/BEAM is almost certainly beamforming. It allows your 802.11 transmissions to be more reliable and efficient. It's a standard part of 802.11n and 802.11ac. It allows your 802.11 transmissions to be more efficient.
They should all help and should not hurt, and you want them enabled unless you suspect that your client or AP has a buggy implementation of that feature that is causing problems. The first three sections are about optional features of the IEEE 802.11n and 802.11ac standards. Turn it on for compatibility with older OS\USB controller. If you are using Win10 with USB3 then I believe this is left at Disable. USB SF Mode: From what I can tell this is a USB "Safe Mode" which is a feature of legacy USB in earlier versions of Windows. NOTE: Actual device in question is ALFA AWUS036EAC and chipset is RTL8812AU
In the driver properties for "Realtek 8812AU Wireless LAN 802.11ac USB NIC" there is an "Advanced" tab that appears to have some settings which are new to me that are specific to WiFi AC communication.ĭue to speed and connection issues I would like to tune these values but I cannot seem to find any reference that explains these options: **"LdpcCap"**
