Wifi upgrade for Realtek RTL8723DE 802.11b/g/n PCIe Adapter

[Prakash184]

HI 

I have 15-da1030TU laptop with windows 11 pro. I want to upgrade wifi adapter so that it can catch 5GHz internet. At present i have Realtek RTL8723DE 802.11b/g/n PCIe Adapter, preinstalled on laptop. Is there a compatible wifi adapter that i can install to have both 2.4 and 5GHz.

Thanks

Hi:

You can upgrade the wifi card to this model...

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.
