Hi!
I have a Laptop Model 15-bs576tx with a Realtek RTL8723DE 802.11b/g/n and I want to replace that card with a new one with dual band wifi, like RTL8821CE.
I couldn´t find wifi cards compatible with my card.
I would appreciate if someone can recommend me a wifi card compatible with my laptop model.
Thanks in advance.

Hi:
The RTL8821CE is the only card you can upgrade to and have the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth work, since your notebook only has one antenna wire.
Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 ac 1x1 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter (MU-MIMO supported) HP part # L17365-005.
The card has a maximum throughput of 433 MBPS on the 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi band with an AC router and an excellent signal.
You can find this model on eBay, or Ali Express.
I see some Intel 3165 cards listed on the eBay listings, so don't buy those.

On the Ali Express listings, make sure the card has the HP Part # of 915620-001.

I recommend you check the eBay site and find a seller that will ship the card to India.
You can also check local PC repair shops in your location and see if they have any spare ones taken from non-working notebooks they can sell you.
