@Tomc40 

 

Your machine was built around 2014, due to the whitelist, upgrading wifi card outside the list is from hard to impossible. The following card is compatible

 

   Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + BT 4.0 combo adapter   part #  710662-005 and it requires 2 antennas. You have to add 1 more antennae yourself.

 

Regards.

Hi, @Tomc40 

 

If you don't want to go through the trouble of properly adding the second antenna, and you don't care about having Bluetooth, the wifi card that Banhien posted should work if you connect the sole antenna cable to the 3160's Main antenna terminal.
