Hi:

 

If your notebook has the Realtek RTL8723DE wifi adapter, you can upgrade to this dual band wifi adapter...

 

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.

RTL8821CE - Buy RTL8821CE with free shipping on AliExpress

 

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.

Thanks. It worked like a charm. It is easily recognized by my laptop even without installing drivers from Realtek(I can't install actually since no drivers for Win 11 yet.)
