Need help upgrading WiFi card

[Abdulkareem0476]

I currently have the RTL8821CE in my HP 15-db0996na and I want to upgrade it since its just bad (already tried drivers)
My 2 options are the intel ax200 and the RTL8852BE
Here are the problems I have
Intel ax200:
 Heard Bluetooth doesn't work on 1x1 antenna configurations (the one I have), also replacing the antennas for 2x2 will be too difficult since I believe I have to take apart the laptop and display

 Built for 2x2 antenna configurations so it wont achieve full speed
RTL8852BE:

 Many reports of problems with connections, Bluetooth, drivers etc.
 Also built for 2x2
Which one should I pick, or are there any other better options? (Wi-Fi 6)

Your notebook may have a BIOS whitelist that blocks the installation of any other model Wi-Fi card from working other than those that are listed in chapter 3 of the service manual and the RTL8822CE would require two antenna wires.

Maintenance and Service Guide HP 15 Laptop PC

If you want to experiment with a Wi-Fi 6 card that only needs one antenna wire for both the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to work, you can look into this one.

Realtek Wi-Fi 6 RTL8852BE-VS + Bluetooth 5.3    HP part # N26166-005

However, I have a low level of confidence that it will.

If you look at eBay listings of this card, you will see that it only has one antenna terminal.

I haven't found any reports of my laptop or a similar 15-db laptop having a bios whitelist so ill take my chances
Also the 3 Wi-Fi cards listed on the HP maintenance and service guide are all Wi-fi 5/4 and Bluetooth 4.2 which isn't good enough
The RTL8852BE-VS seems like it would work but I could not find it anywhere (used too + including ebay) except the HP website which is selling it for £54, which is crazy since I can probably get a better Wi-Fi 6 card and pay someone to add the antennas for the same price for better performance
So I guess ill try my luck with the RTL8852BE non vs version, if it doesn't work then rip ill just go back to my old one

The problem is with the RTL8852BE is that it will also need two antenna wires as you can see from this eBay listing:

You can see if one of these US sellers will ship the VS to the UK at a reasonable cost.
