My laptop is :14-bs027ur, the alreaady installed wifi adaptor is (Realtek RTL8723DE 802.11b/g/n PCIe Adapter), What Dual band (for 5g wifi) wifi adaptor can I install instead?

Maybe (3168NGW)?

Hi:

Your notebook is only going to have one antenna wire connected to the Realtek RTL8723DE wifi card, and the Intel 3168 AC card will require two.

There is only one dual band model wifi adapter you can upgrade to, and that is this one...

Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter (MU-MIMO supported) HP part # L17365-005.

You can find this model on eBay, or Ali Express. 

I see some Intel 3165 cards listed on the eBay listings, so don't buy those.

On the Ali Express listings, make sure the card has the HP Part # of 915620-001.

Below is the link to the service manual for the model series, where you can find the wifi card removal and replacement procedure.
