Hi:

According to the parts list for your notebook, it comes with an Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 wireless network adapter.

That wireless card is a single band card that only works on the 2.4 GHz wireless band.

Specs on the card from Intel...

Even though i am mad at hp for this but it is what it is.

I agree.

I can't understand why HP doesn't include dual band cards with bluetooth as standard equipment nowadays.

And now maybe even dual band AC cards with bluetooth.  The additonal cost would probably be $20 to the consumer.

But like you wrote...it is what it is.
