Hello. I currently own a HP Notebook 15s du0020tx which is limited to a 2.4ghz network. I'm using a RTL8723DE 802.11b/g/n PCIe Adapter and want to upgrade to a dual band wifi adapter that's suitable. Any recommendations?

Hi:

 

Since your notebook only has one antenna wire connected to the RTL8723DE Wi-Fi adapter, there is only one dual band AC Wi-Fi adapter you can upgrade to without doing extensive disassembly to add a second antenna wire, and that is this one...

 

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

 

The card has a maximum throughput of 433 MBPS on the 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi band with an AC router and an excellent signal.

 

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 where you can find the wifi card removal and replacement procedure...
