Wanting to upgrade my Envy 700-074 from single-band 2.4Ghz 1 x 1 technology to a Dual Band wireless card to utilize 5.0Ghz internet.
Currently the machine has a Ralink RT3290 802.11 bgn Wi-Fi Adaptor installed that came originally with machine
Processor is Intel Core i5-4430 CPU @ 3.00Ghz 4 cores
Motherboard: MS-7826 (Kaili) Form Factor uATX
Expansion slots: 1 PCI Express x16 (Gen3.0); 3 PCI Express x1 (Gen2.0); 1 half-length mini card
What card would I need that would be compatable with these specs. Or, where can I go to find this information?
Thank you for any help.

Eaglemom, welcome to the forum.
Here is a wireless card that will work for you. You will need a router that is capable of using 802.11ac, also. I had this card in an HP Omen Gaming Laptop and it worked great with my ASUS router.

Thank you for your reply.
I see where you put this card in a laptop. Do you have any knowledge of it being in a desk top? Looking at this card it looks like to the Ralink RT3290 presently in the machine so I am sure it will fit space wise, but give me the 5.0 I am seeking.
My router offers 2.4 and 5.0 options so I am good there!
Also, have you had issues with it being white listed by HP? If so, how were you able to resolve it?
I know quite a bit about computers, but there is also quite a bit I do not know!
Thank you for your help.
