Hey Guys
I have a new laptop recently it's a HP Pavilion G6 2253SA I have linked the model to the specs page if you need to look at the specs
I love everything about it except for one thing... The Wifi Card
It's horrific and seems to miserably fail at staying connected to the router. It's a Railink RT5390 wifi card and I have made sure that the latest driver is installed for it but it fails to stay connected to the router and when it disconnects, It stops picking up nearby routers and even if you turn the WiFi device off and on it still fails to pick up any nearby routers and the only way I can make it find any routers is to restart the laptop and it works again for another couple of hours before it disconnects and cant find any routers.
I did a little research on this and found an article on HP's website with the exact same problem as me and has over 50K views on this article
This is the article - Ralink RT5390 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter will not stay connect... - HP Support Forum - 1507047
I do have a plan to fix this problem by replacing the wifi card in this machine but I don't know if there are different types of wifi cards for notebooks or if any wifi card will fit
The wifi card I found and want to swap my current one for is a Realtek RTL8191SE which was the Wifi card in my own laptop and it worked flawlessly
To summarise my questions are
What is wrong with my current Wifi card?
do all wifi cards for notebooks fit the same port?
Will I be able to swap my current wifi card for my realtek one?
