Please suggest an alternative for Realtek RTL8723DE 802.11 b/g/n

Hi all,

I'm looking to upgrade my current Wi-Fi RTL8723DE 802.11b/g/n PCIe adapter to 5GHz.

In search I found RTL8821CE as an alternative.

Is RTL8821CE compatible with and have drivers support for my HP Notebook - 15-da0327tu? if not could you please suggest one?

Current my Wi-Fi adapter only works with 2.4 and I have a dual band router.

Thank you in advance.

Cheers,

Shemi

Hi:

Yes, he RTL8821CE is the only model dual band Wi-Fi adapter you can replace the RTL8723 with easily.

Otherwise, you would have to order the dual antenna kit and completely disassemble the notebook including the display panel to properly run the second Wi-Fi antenna wire.

The RTL8821CE has W10/W11 driver support.

The AX210 will not work correctly with only one antenna wire.

Many thanks. I have just replaced and it is working butter smooth.
