Hello, your question involves several technical details. Upgrading a Wi-Fi card often requires careful handling of connectors and possibly replacing parts like antennas or adapters. Installing a new antenna on a laptop motherboard can be challenging depending on the model, but it’s generally doable with proper tools. For a compact USB Wi-Fi 6 adapter, finding one that fits without protruding is tricky—many are designed to be slim but may still need careful placement. Laptop Wi-Fi antennas can vary in cost; higher-quality ones tend to be pricier, while budget options are available but might sacrifice performance. It’s best to research specific models and consider compatibility before purchasing. Let me know if you need more guidance!

Speed may decrease slightly, but performance should remain around 400mb/s

The antenna wires pass through the hinge and reach the upper part of the display side of the laptop. You have the option to swap them, though it would be quite a big job.
