You're very welcome.

 

Here is the link to the service manual.   The wifi card R & R procedure can be found in chapter 6.

Hi:

 

You should be able to upgrade to this dual band 1 x 1 AC wifi adapter...

 

Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter (MU-MIMO supported)   HP Part # L17365-005

 

The card has been on back order for months at the HP parts store, but you can find them on eBay...

Thanks Paul, any idea where on the board the wifi card is installed? I'll need to take the back case off, since the battery doesn't cover any components.
