Hi:

There are no specifications listed for your notebook, but the driver page shows Intel drivers for the chipset and graphics.

So, if your notebook has an Intel processor, you can upgrade to one of these two wifi cards...

Here is the information on the replacement wifi cards...

If you have, or plan to get an AC router...

Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11 ac 2x2 WiFi + BT 4.0                 HP Part #710661-001

If you only have a dual band wireless N router, and don't plan on replacing it anytime soon...

Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260AN 802.11 a/b/g/n 2x2 WiFi + BT4.0    HP Part # 717381-001

Either card is readily available on Amazon or eBay.

Do your search by the HP part number, not the model of the wifi card.

Now, if your notebook does not currently have an Intel wifi card installed, it is very important that you uninstall the current wifi card and driver in the device manager (and the same for the bluetooth if your notebook comes with bluetooth), before installing the replacement wifi card.
