Upgrade Internal WiFi card

[Darkscreen9]

my laptop model is HP 15-gr0000 Laptop. the stock internal wifi card is  realtek rtl8821ce 802.11 ac 1x1 wifi + bluetooth 4.2 combo adapter.  In 5GHZ the speed is only goes to 230-300 mbps and sometimes it will automatically disconnect the WiFi connection so I want to upgrade my WiFi  5 card to WiFi 6  so is it possible to upgrade the wifi adapter if YES  which adapter is suitable for this model... please reply as soon as possible

Hi:

I recommend that you try updating the driver to the latest version to see if that helps any.

2024.0.10.227

Here's the problem with wanting to upgrade the Wi-Fi card in your notebook...

Notebooks that come with the Realtek RTL8821CE Wi-Fi adapter only come with one antenna wire.

All Wi-Fi 6 cards require that two antenna wires be connected to the card in order for both the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to work.

If you can live without Bluetooth, you can replace the Realtek card with this model and connect the single antenna wire to the card's Main antenna terminal.

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

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

Thank you very much for this information😍.

Sir, its already in latest version and in 2.4GHZ its getting only 3.4 to 10 MBPS so definitely I want to upgrade and I do not want Bluetooth.. one question is notebook spec is  processor  AMD Ryzen 3 3250u.. so in AMD processor intel card will get support

and can I choose intel AX 201 WIFI card?

You're very welcome.

The AX201 definitely will not work because that needs a certain Intel processor and chipset in order to work.

What Are the Intel® Integrated Connectivity (CNVi) and Companion...

The AX200 definitely will work because it is listed as a supported Wi-Fi card in chapter 3 of your notebook's service manual.

I have an HP 15-ee0047nr notebook with an AMD Ryzen 5 4500U processor and that is the very same Intel AX200 card HP installed in my notebook.
