You can just remove and replace the wifi card on the motherboard, and upgrade to wifi 6 or 6e, BT 5.1/2. You can find a compatible card on amazon for under $30. No need to use a pluggable USB wifi adapter (which may limit your internet speed). That is, assuming the problem is with the wifi card, and not the board or software.
From another redit user that worked for me: Turn off the computer, remove the power cable from the back, press and hold the power button for 1 minute, plug the cable in and let the computer start, go to device manager, look closely for any warning signs and remove them, then on the top icon dashboard click scan for hardware changes. This should bring your bluetooth connection back, and consider doing this periodically if you live in a dry environment, or consider elevating the computer off the ground.
