HP 690020-001 Ralink RT3290 Adapter

The HP 690020-001 is a half-size Mini PCIe card that adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 to compatible laptops or small-form-factor systems. It uses the Ralink RT3290LE chipset and supports the IEEE 802.11b/g/n standard for wireless connectivity.

Replacing a Failed or Missing Wireless Card

This adapter replaces a broken or absent half-height Mini PCIe wireless module in HP and other OEM platforms that accept the form factor. The jump is worth it when the original card has failed, when Bluetooth 4.0 support is required for peripherals, or when a system shipped without any wireless hardware at all.

Straightforward Mini PCIe Installation

Installation requires an available half-size Mini PCIe slot and two antenna connectors for the Wi-Fi leads. The card ships without antennas or brackets, so builders must reuse the original cables and mounting hardware. The most common issue is forgetting to snap both U.FL connectors securely, which leaves the wireless signal weak or non-functional.
