Hi:

 

I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'trying to setup wifi for dual mode,' but if you mean you want your wifi to connect to either the 2.4 GHz or 5.0 GHz wireless bands, that card is only a single band (2.4 GHz) card.

 

Hint:  Anytime you see a wireless N card with a suffix that ends in b/g/n, that means it is a single band 2.4 GHz only wireless card.

 

Dual band wireless N cards have suffixes that end in a/b/g/n or a/g/n.
