All I wanted to know is what wifi cards are compatible with my hp17by1053dx. Instead, I get tutorials and driver upgrade information when I've already tried all that and even added a wifi usb extender plug-in adapter. I am trying to fix the problem and am convinced the problem is a worn-out wifi card. Just tell me which ones are compatible with my machine, please.

Hi:
Since your notebook only has one antenna wire attached to the Realtek RTL8723DE Wi-Fi adapter it comes with, you are limited to upgrading to this dual band AC Wi-Fi card:
Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 ac 1x1 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter (MU-MIMO supported) HP part # L17365-005.
The card has a maximum throughput of 433 MBPS on the 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi band with an AC router and an excellent signal.
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 where you can find the Wi-Fi card removal and replacement procedure.
