Introduction
The much complained-about Killer BCM4352 WiFi card that plagues this laptop is thankfully easy to replace. The E-key M.2 slot on the motherboard should take almost any modern WiFi card, provided it uses PCIe (like the AX200) and not CNVi (like the AX201).
What you need

Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the screw holding the WiFi card down. Be careful not to lose the metal retainer holding the antenna cables down.
-
Without applying too much force, pop out the antenna cables and remove the card.

Insert the new card, and reattach the antenna cables. The black cable connects to the main antenna slot (marked with a solid triangle) and the white connects to the auxiliary (marked with an empty triangle).
