Hi, is it possible to change the wifi card or does the bios have a whitelist? i have a Realtek RTL8821CE.

 

Thanks in advance

The model series may have a whitelist but almost as bad, your notebook only has one antenna wire because that is all the Realtek RTL8821CE needs to work, and a better Wi-Fi adapter would need two antenna wires.

 

If you want to go through the trouble of installing a second antenna wire, this model card was used in the 15s-eq1000 model series according to the parts list for this model:

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

 

Below is the link to the service manual:

 

Maintenance and Service Guide HP 15 Laptop PC

 

Chapter 3 has the dual antenna kit part number and chapter 5 has the Wi-Fi card removal and replacement procedure as well as the antenna installation procedure.

 

The antenna installation procedure is pretty difficult.
