Hi:

You have to physically replace the Realtek RTL8723DE Wi-Fi adapter with the RTL8821CE Wi-Fi adapter.

Here is the info you need to remove and replace the Wi-Fi adapter:  Chapter 5.

Places you can buy the 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.
