I have had so many problems with the Realtek wifi adapter. I want to replace it with an Intel or any other brand besides Realtek but don't know which one. Can anyone help?

Hi:

 

Yes, those cards are pretty bad.

 

You can most likely upgrade to one of these two Intel cards:

 

Wi-Fi 6E:

 

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

 

Wi-Fi 6:

 

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

 

In the meantime, have you tried the latest driver for the Realtek card?

Below is the link to the service manual, where you can find the Wi-Fi card removal and replacement procedure:
