Your machine was built long way before 2014-2015 therefore due to the whitelist the chance to upgrade is very slim to none. Option: use USB - Wifi adapter, for example

To actually answer your question, you can upgrade to an Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 7260 which is a 2x2 wifi and bluetooth device. Get one with the card extender piece so it'll fit inside the notebook properly.

 

You'll have to download and install a modded BIOS which is not hard to find, can't link here, but it should be based off of sp51527 (F.23) A search for "sp51527 NWL EISTUlk More Options by CamiloML" might be EXTREMELY helpful in finding it.

 

Card part number is 784650-005.

 

Grab the drivers from the Intel Website. Install wifi first and then bluetooth.

 

Working perfectly on my exact system.
