That has got to be perhaps the least upgradeable desktop PC I have ever seen.
There no PCIe slots that allow interfacing in any fashion to the motherboard's busses. The best you will manage will be to find a usb wireless interface such as those at the following web page at Newegg.com

Look for one with a high data rate. Your chances of getting 1GB data rate are nil. I have an ASUS USB-AC56 and it has a pretty high data transfer rate in 802.11N mode. 802.11ac is not as fast as the marketing hype promised.
You will need a powerful wireless router capable of 802.11 b\g\n\ac specifications. My current router is an ASUS Dark Knight RT-AC66U and it does a great job throught my home and in the garden.
Re: your PM
I wouldn't bother replacing the motherboard because a different motherboard would have the isssue of an open air I\O backplate. The rear of the case is proprietary for the motherboard already installed.
It will cost you more than what you paid for the PC to upgrade, since you won't be able to use the CPU (APU) or the RAM that is soldered onto the motherboard. It will involve the same effort as it takes to build a DIY PC. I don't know if you are willing to do the research that it takes to do that. It means a lot of reading , cost and feature comparison, purchasing of the correct guaramteed compatible memory and CPU and a good desktop case.
Save up for another pre-built PC with an Intel (sixth Gen.) Core i5 or i7 CPU and 8GB of installed memory if you're not ready to build a DIY PC.
