Hello,
I'm looking for a wifi card update for my HP Pavilion 15-au104np.
Wich card do you recommend that will properly work in my specific laptop?
Thank you

Hi:
Since your notebook only comes with a single band Wi-Fi adapter, it only has one Wi-Fi antenna wire.
The only dual band card that will work properly in your notebook with one antenna wire is this one:
Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 ac 1×1 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter (MU-MIMO supported) HP part # L17365-005
Below is the link to the service manual:

You're very welcome.
Yes that model card is a dual band card that works on both the 2.4 and 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi bands.
It has a maximum throughput of 433 MBPS when there is an excellent signal strength on the 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi band.
I doubt it will ever reach that speed but it should do well over 100 MBPS.
