Product: Hp notebook15-ay078tx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

As I mentioned I have Hp ay-078tx notebook and it has Realtek RTL8723BE 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi chip installed. I am a Windows as well as linux user and my this chip has problem with the drivers with linux such as ubuntu and arch. I want to replace this card with new and better one.

I need to know which cards are compatible with my model of laptop and what will be the good choices for it.

Thank You!

Hi:

 

If your major issue is not having Linux drivers for that model card, see this discussion...

Your notebook only has one antenna present and connected to the Realtek wifi card in there now, so you can't really upgrade the card unless you want to try the 1 x 1 Realtek AC card, which I have no idea if it has Linux/Ubuntu drivers or not.

 

The only card that I know of that might work in your notebook that meets those specs would be this one...

 

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

 

The only place I have been able to find that card for sale is on eBay.   Do your search by the part number, not the model of the wifi card.
