Hi:

Your wired onboard NIC is the Realtek RTL8103EL network adapter with Data transfer speeds: up to 10/100 Mb/s.

Your wireless NIC is the Ralink RT3090 wireless card which is only capable of transmitting and receiving on the 2.4 GHz band.

There is one PCI slot on the motherboard. If it is free you can get a PCI 10/100/1000 network adapter and go into the BIOS and disable your onboard NIC.

You can also get a PCIe x1 10/100/1000 network adapter but I have read posts where folks have been unable to get those to work.

I don't think there is anything you can do about the wireless card. On HP notebook PC's they lock unsupported wireless cards out of the BIOS and I don't know if they do that on desktop PC's too.

You could disable your internal wireless card and purchase an external USB dual band wireless adapter, I guess.
