Can the Realtek 8821 ce802 Wi-Fi card be upgraded?

There's only one antenna wire connected to the Realtek 8821CE Wi-Fi adapter and any other dual band card would require two.

 

If you are willing to have external antennas, then you can replace the Realtek card with the Intel AX210 desktop Wi-Fi kit.
