Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

So I'm thinking of upgrading my laptop's Wi-Fi card to a combo card. My laptop has a PCIe Half Mini, and it is also the card that came in the laptop. Recently, I took apart my laptop to clean the components, and then I installed the maximum system memory the computer could handle, which is 16GB. This made my computer MUCH faster, enough to where the CPU produces more heat than usual. However, when I did a stress test with running an online game with maximum graphics, it wasn't as laggy as usual, but there was still quite some lag. Also, when I use a Bluetooth dongle, sometimes it temporarily becomes unable to be connected, which is very irritating at times. Anyways, does a combo card require two antenna cables? And does using two antenna cables make the speed faster?
