 I ordered this one but it has two entry. My current card has only one and also there is one cable. Is not there something wrong?

Sorry, I did not say your machine only has 1 antenna. You need a card with 1 antenna (1x1 cards).

Hi, @tunamert 

 

If you want Bluetooth like you have now, your only option is the RTL8821CE unless you want to take the whole notebook apart including the display panel to properly run the second Wi-Fi antenna wire, so the Bluetooth works in the Intel 3168 AC 1x1 card.

 

Both have the same max throughput specs of 433 MBPS.

So the one I purchased, on the previous screenshot, will work on my machine, is that correct? I am asking to be sure because it has two cable entrance. It might be unrelated. I do not know why is there two and what are their purposes. Only thing I know is my current card has only one.

I don't know of any RTL8821CE that came with two antenna terminals.

 

They all look like this one...

 

L17365-005 RTL8821CE HP WIRELESS BLUETOOTH CARD 14-DK 14-DK0028WM (CB73) | eBay

 

So, if you ordered a RTL8821CE, most likely the stock picture you posted is really for a different model Wi-Fi card, and the card should only one one terminal to connect the antenna wire to.
