TechRadar has a list of what they consider the best laptops for 2025:

HP isn't in the list. In past years, HP was always near the top of the list. Sad, that it isn't. I have three HPs, and they work well.
Newer Dells are good too. Some of the older desktops didn't come with a functioning WiFi or Bluetooth adapters, so for my Dell, I bought the adapters off of Amazon.
In the case of your HP laptop, I would check with your ISP. They can often help with any settings. We just had a new modem installed here, and my computer didn't pick up the new security for WPA3 and was trying to connect using WPA2. I had to make the adjustment in my WiFi settings

In the event you can find some help online, or if you decide to buy a WiFi adapter to take the place of your current one, you may have to connect using an Ethernet cable or use your cellphone as a hotspot to install the alternate adapter.
