HI;

If your notebook only has one antenna connected to the Realtek wifi card, I recommend that you do a direct swap to this one.

This card works with one antenna cable.

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 this model is on eBay.

The card has the same throughput as the RTL8723 on the 2.4 GHz wifi band, but on the 5.0 GHz wifi band with an AC router, it has a maximum throughput of 433 MBPS.

On a dual band wireless N router, it would have a maximum throughput of 150 MBPS on the 5.0 GHz wifi band.

If you want to do the job right, in order to add a second antenna, you have to take the whole notebook apart including the display panel area to properly route a second antenna.

You would also have to buy the antenna kit listed in the service manual to make sure you get the antenna and transceiver that fits properly.

Thank you for your answer.

I know that i have to disassemble the Laptop completely, but that´s no problem since it is almost disassembled if you want to remove the card. I only have to remove the cover from the display and thats it.

I found a card with new antennas included (Intel WiFi 6 AX 200NGW) and that was the part i wanted to use,

but i don´t know if i can use it (whitelist) .

The card you offered didn´t get enough speed.

i´m using an usb stick now but it´s dangerous to get stuck with it and crash it

You're very welcome.

I do not believe that your model has a whitelist, so that card should work.

[toma33]

that would be a real speed up if it would be succesfull

and to remove the cover from the display isn´t real the hard work since it is only clipped...

i have to sleep about it.

Thank you for your answers and your support
