Thank you for the additional information, @rodhos.

 

If you click on the red card in my post this is what you will find:

 

https://www.amazon.com/Intel-3160-Wireless-Bluetooth-Supports/dp/B00IOS19E6/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1...

 

The card is dual band and should work in your computer.  I suggest that you contact the manufacturer's Tech Support to make certain.
