wireless slow

[warning44]

Hi,

My notebook works well except that the wireless on wifi is very slow , but when I connect to ethernet cable it speeds up. I get a difference of 2mbps wifi upload to 15mpbs on ethernet connection, I have already run the HP updates for Realtek wireless but same . Also reloaded it . Same. I have run the  speed on my iphone and its running much faster then 2 mobs, so think it might be my wireless card ? 

Can I upgrade or change the card? any ideas what I need and can i do it myself dismantling the computer?

thanks all

4. In the Manage Add-ons window, select add-ons that are enabled, and then click the Disable button in the lower right corner. Repeat this step for each add-on that is enabled.

5. Select Close to return to the Internet Properties home window.

6. Select the General tab, and then in the Browsing history area, click Delete.

   

7. On the Delete Browsing History window, select Preserve Favorites website data, Cookies and website data, Temporary Internet files and website files, and History, and then click Delete.

   

8. After the computer deletes the browsing history and returns to the Internet Properties windows, select the Security tab.

9. Select Reset all zones to default level, and then click Apply.

   

10. Select the Content tab, and then select Clear SSL State.

    

11. Select OK in the SSL cache confirmation message that displays.
