I have an old  2015 hp laptop. Hp pavillion notebook ab220tx which has only 2.4ghz wifi card, Which is working on window 10 pro 64bit. I want to upgrade it with a dual band one(2.4, 5ghz). Can someone suggest the right wifi card and its name? Thanks for helping.

This dual band Wi-Fi card should work fine in your notebook and it works with the single antenna wire your notebook comes with.
