Hi,

I don’t know your particular WifI +Bluetooth card (have you got a model number for it?) but usually the two ports are setup as follows

Port 1 = WiFi and BT

Port 2 = WiFi.

They need to be used in conjunction with each other for normal operation.

You can use port 2 but I suspect that the WiFi range and performance will decrease due to lower signal quality and that the BT will not work at all.

Hi,

I think that you provided the serial number not the model number. ;-)

If the WiFi card is in a laptop you should be able to find the replacement WiFi card part number for it from the service manual, so that you can replace the card. They are not that expensive.

To find the service manual, search online for laptop model number(is it a HP laptop?)service manual, e.g. "HP (insert model number) service manual"
