Hello,
I'm looking to upgrade the Wi-Fi adapter in my HP Notebook 15-AY163NR. It is currently running the factory Realtek RTL8723BE 802.11 bgn Wi-Fi adapter with built in bluetooth but would like to upgrade to 802.11 ac or 802.11 a/b/g/n with bluetooth. Will this computer support that? Do you have suggestions for specific models? My laptop has the I7-7500U chipset if that's important.
Thanks for your help.
