Hi:

There are no reports of anyone having installed a different model wifi adapter in that model series.

The AX201 won't work because those would only work as a replacement for an existing one.

If you want to experiment with an Intel card, then I recommend you try this one:

Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 ax 2×2 + Bluetooth 5.0 MU-MIMO M.2 2230 non-vPro  HP part # L35282-005

You can find this model Wi-Fi card on eBay.  Search by the HP part number.

If you cannot find that exact part number, make sure you buy an Intel AX200 that is non-vPro.

Below is the link to the service manual where you can find the Wi-Fi card removal and replacement procedure.

so, if i buy intel ax200 where this card using dual antenna connector and in my laptop just using single antenna connector, it won't be work?

Hi:

You initially posted that your notebook has the RTL8822ce wifi adapter.

The RTL8822CE Wi-Fi card has two antenna wires connected to it.

The RTL8821CE Wi-Fi card has one antenna wire connected to it.

If your notebook has the RTL8821CE, the wifi portion of the Intel card will work, but not the Bluetooth because it needs a second antenna to work correctly.

The parts list for your notebook indicates it has the Realtek 8821CE which will only have one antenna wire.

There are no dual band Intel Wi-Fi cards where both the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will work with only one antenna wire.

Even the 3168AC requires two antenna wires.

I'm sorry my bad, in my device was using realtek 8821CE, which is just use single antenna connector, when I read manual from you, I found intel 9461 AC, because this card using single antenna connector, but this card (intel 9461) does support on my device?

Hi:

The 9461AC won't work because that is a CNVIo card and it requires a special processor and motherboard to work, just like the Intel AX201.

You can only install the 9461AC if your notebook originally came with that model card and you needed to replace it.

If you install one, the card will not show up in the device manager.  It would be like you never had a Wi-Fi card installed.
