Hi:

 

You can do a direct swap of the RTL8723DE with this AC card...

 

Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter (MU-MIMO supported)     HP part # L17365-005.

 

This card works with only one antenna.

 

The only place I have been able to find this model is on eBay.

 

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=L17365-005&_sacat=0&_sop=15

 

The Realtek 8821CE wifi card will have a maximum throughput of 433 MBPS on the 5.0 GHz wifi band with an AC router.

You're very welcome.

 

Not unless you are willing to take the whole notebook apart in order to run a second antenna cable.

 

If you are not paying for more than 500 MB internet service, I don't see the point in going through all that trouble.

 

You're only going to get the download speeds you are paying for.

 

The only advantage to having a faster wireless card would be if you transfer a huge amount of files across your home network.
