Looking for WLAN RTL8852AE replacement for HP Envy x360 13-ay1001nl

[Mufin]

Hi, can anyone suggest me any worthy replacements for Realtek's RTL8852AE module? The wifi connectivity is a nightmare, it randomly disconnects, often has hard time reconnecting and basically it boggles me all the time. I'm not quite sure if Intel's modules would be the right choice since I have an AMD CPU, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

On top of that, I had hard time finding the latest service guide for my laptop model, as well as parts list via HP PartSurfer. I wish to replace my battery, since it got a little worn out, would anyone be kind enough to let me know of it's part name? Or ideally tell me how to look it up by myself in the future? My laptop model is 13-ay1001nl, but the "add device" support's utility described it as 13-ay1000, what I should make of it?

Hi:

The previous 13-Ay0xxx model series had two Wi-Fi card options:

Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 ax 2×2 + Bluetooth 5.0 MU-MIMO M.2 2230 non-vPro 160 MHz HP part # L35282-005

Realtek ac 2×2 + Bluetooth 5.0 M.2 2230   HP part # L44796-005

The only suggestion I can offer would be to try the Intel AX200 non-vPro card and hope it also works on the 13-ay1xxx model series.

Have you tried updating the Wi-Fi driver to the latest version yet?

This is the latest driver HP has for the RTL8852AE:

 6001.10.356.0

HP never released a service manual for the HP ENVY x360 Convert 13-ay1000 model series.

The manual link on your notebook's support page that isn't working was for the previous HP ENVY x360 Convert 13-ay0000 model series.

I cannot find a working link anywhere.

I do have that manual, but the file size is too large for me to attach it.

So, what I have done is zipped and uploaded the pdf file for the HP ENVY x360 Convert 13-ay0000 service manual to my Skydrive folder and shared the link to it with you below:

Download unzip and open the file labeled 13-ay0000.zip
