Hi:

What model Wi-Fi card does your notebook have now?

Its a Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 PCIe Adapter

That's unfortunate because the Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 PCIe Adapter only has one antenna wire.

So, an easy upgrade to a better card is not going to be possible for you.

In order to upgrade to a dual band AX card, you will need to order the dual antenna kit listed in chapter 3 of your notebook's service manual, completely disassemble the notebook including the display bezel, to properly route the second antenna wire.

Maintenance and Service Guide HP 15 Laptop PC

Dual antenna kit     L52018-001

If you are willing and able to do all of that work, then you should be able to upgrade to this model Wi-Fi card, which would be the best one available for your PC:

Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E 2x2 AX + Bluetooth 5.2 M.2 2230 non-vPro   HP part # M27269-005
