With its ages, due to the whitelist in BIOS, the chance to upgrade to modern wifi adapter is very slim to none. You can simply use something similar to

          https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/Networking/Adapters/67965-USB-AC53-NANO

 

There are many around and cheaper. I'm using it now on my 8/9 years old machine and very happy with it. I actually use old internal adapter and new external adapter at the same time and machine is smart enough to use the new one to download
