Hello,
first, sorry for my bad English, but i'll try my best.
I want to change my WLAN Card in my Laptop, i have many problems with the connection to my wifi. And i want to upgrade it (5GHz).
I read in sereval blogs, there are a whitelist for the Cards, in my Laptop is now Realtek 8723BE.
So, where I can find the whitelist for my Laptop, or which cards I can build in my notebook?
Thank you for your help.

Hi:
There is no whitelist for your model, but since it only has one antenna wire, you can only do a direct upgrade to this dual band AC wifi card.
Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter (MU-MIMO supported) HP part # L17365-005.
You can find this model on eBay.

The card has the same throughput as the RTL8723BE card on the 2.4 GHz wifi band, but on the 5.0 GHz wifi band with an AC router, it has a maximum throughput of 433 MBPS.
Below is the link to the service manual, where you can find the wifi card removal and replacement procedure.
