Hi:
Your notebook has one antenna cable connected to the wifi card in there now.
If you want to upgrade the wifi card, you can upgrade to this one which was designed to work with one antenna cable...
Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter (MU-MIMO supported) HP Part # L17365-005.
That card has the same throughput as the RTL8723 on the 2.4 GHz wifi band, and 433 MBPS on the 5.0 GHz wifi band with an AC router...150 MBPS with a dual band N router.
Unfortunately, that card has been on back order for months at the HP Parts Store, but you can find several of them listed for sale on eBay.
