Hi:

Your notebook has one of the best Wi-Fi cards that were offered in the model series at the time.

You could try this Wi-Fi 6e card:  I couldn't find one on Amazon.UK

You have to select it from the drop-down menu.  £16.99

Mini PCI-E WiFi Bluetooth Card wifi 6 wifi 6e Network Adapter for PC Windows | eBay

I installed the card in my HP 350 G1 that has an Intel 4th gen core processor, and it works great.

I was able to find mine on Amazon.US but that doesn't help you.

Otherwise you can upgrade the Wi-Fi card to the best one offered in the model series which was the Broadcom BCM 4352 802.11 ac 2×2 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter   HP part # 724935-001.

You can probably find that model card on eBay as well.

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