Here is the Manual:

 

Manual 

 

See p. 2. Problem is that models with your wifi card only have a single antenna. Your card is an 802.11bgn. The laptop also supports a Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11ac 1 × 1 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.2 (MU-MIMO supported) card on the single antenna, which is somewhat better. Adding an antenna is theoretically possible but not easy to do. That would open up the use of a lot more and better wifi cards. USB wireless cards are actually a pretty good option and there are some very good ones.

 

L21480-005 is the part number for the RTL8821CE card. 

 

Its in stock in the HP USA Parts Store:
