Hi:

 

Since your notebook only has one antenna cable that connects to the wifi card in there now...

 

There is only one internal wifi card you can upgrade to in your model...

 

Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter (MU-MIMO supported) HP part # L17365-005.

 

The only place I have been able to find this model is on eBay.

 

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=L17365-005&_sacat=0&_sop=15

The card has the same throughput as your current wifi card has 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.

 

Here is the link to the service manual for your notebook, where you can find the wifi card removal and replacement procedure.

Yes, and the RTL8821CE will be a direct swap.

 

Just remove the card in there now, and connect the new one up.

 

There is only one antenna terminal so it is easy to know where it has to go.  🙂
