Introduction

Replacing the WWAN (Wireless Wide Area Network) card is easy and straightforward.

WWAN connectivity allows a user with a netbook and a WWAN card to surf the web, check email, or connect to a virtual private network (VPN) from anywhere within the regional boundaries of cellular service.

The WWAN card in the HP Mini 210 uses a Mini PCIe interface, which is the standard on recent laptops. Please ensure you install an official HP verified WWAN card to prevent running into errors.
