Hi,
I have a HP 15-Bs-101ne Laptop which I recently added a 8 gb stick but my problem here is to speed up my internet.
I do have a 5ghz Wi-Fi router but this laptop supports only 2.4ghz getting me only 5 to 6 mbps. Now because of this all my downloads and stuff is going really slow so i decided to buy myself a new internet card. But i don't have a single idea which one i should buy and i don't wanna disassemble my screen so i just want one internet card that supports both Bluetooth and 5ghz Wi-Fi.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi:
Since your notebook only comes with one Wi-Fi antenna wire, there is only one dual band Wi-Fi card you can upgrade to and that is this one:
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.
Below is the link to the service manual, where you can find the wifi card removal and replacement procedure.

Hi, @shaik_faazuddin
I see that you replied but now your post is gone.
This card on Ali Express should work fine.
