Wifi drivers - HP 4540s

[raf90now]

Hello,

I am not sure if my wifi running properly, can someone give me correct drivers to my wifi card?

ID: 

PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&SUBSYS_18E3103C&REV_01
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&SUBSYS_18E3103C
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&CC_0280

Can you tell me why there (https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-probook-4540s-notebook-pc/5229455) is so much drivers for network connections? Which one should i choose from 19 drivers?

I would be very grateful  also for drivers to bluetooth too :

Are you sure about drivers for bluetooth?

" DEVICES SUPPORTED:
Atheros AR3012 Bluetooth 4.0 + HS Adapter
Atheros AR3012 Bluetooth 4.0 + HS Adapter
Atheros AR9462 Bluetooth 4.0 + HS Adapter"

There is no "9565"

My 4540s has the Ralink adapter (see output below) but I've been unable to find an alternate Linux driver for it. WiFi speed is pretty bad - Wired on this laptop and WiFi or wired on other devices are all about 50mb/s (to the internet), but I'm doing good to occasionally reach 10 on the 4540s via WiFi. I can also tell it's slow internally, just scp-ing files between it and my Xubuntu 16.04 desktop is abysmal.

Any pointers on finding / installing a better driver or otherwise speeding it up? Running Xubuntu 18.04.

Thanks.
