I want to change bu rtl8723de model wifi card with new one. Because it is not support linux based system. Which cards can be suitable for my computer.For example: Can I use Intel AC-3160.

Hi

Chapter 3 of the service manual has the list of supported wifi cards.

Maintenance and Service Guide HP 15 Laptop PC

The RTL8822BE card needs two antenna wires to work, and your notebook only has one.

It appears that your only other option for a replacement Wi-Fi card would be the Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11ac 1 × 1 Wi-Fi adapter.

You can check a Linux forum and see if the RTL8821CE has driver support for Linux.

If I try  this card, could that work "Intel AC-3160"

I don't think so.

Only certain Intel cards work in AMD notebooks and I don't believe that the Intel 3160 was one of them.

You can try either one of these cards in hope that it works because it has been used in HP notebooks with AMD processors.

You can see these cards were offered in the 15-ba0xx model series which has an AMD processor (chapter 3, page 25).

HP Notebook PC (AMD) * Models: 15-ba100 – 15-ba199 * Models: 15-ba000 – 15-ba099 * Models: 15-bf100 ...

Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 802.11 ac 1x1 Wi-Fi + BT 4.2 Combo                      HP part # 806723-005

Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + BT 4.2 Combo Adapter        HP part # 863934-855

Make sure you buy one that has the HP part number on it, because I don't know if any other variation will work.

The Bluetooth will not work with just having the one antenna wire.

Connect the wire to the Wi-Fi card's 'Main' antenna terminal.
