Hello. I already have the Realtek rtl8821ce 802.11ac pcie adapter installed on my notebook. I also have the 1GB internet from my ISP. I understand that the maximum throughput for my adapter is 433 mbps, in the 5 GHZ band. Is there any way I could obtain 866 mbps with my current adapter? Or would i need a new adapter for that ?What is your suggestion for me to fully benefit the 1GB speed internet from my ISP? BTW, my wireless router supports 866 mbps in the 5GHZ band. Thanks in advance!

No. The adapter you have is the only known single antenna 802.11ac card that works in the 5ghz band. 433 mbps is the most you can get out of a single antenna setup. The only way to have a faster wireless card is to retrofit a second antenna into the system and upgrade to a different card.
