Hey there! @Boosck, Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
I understand you would like to upgrade wireless card on your PC to a dual band.
Don't worry I'd like to help you out.
As you mentioned you would like to upgrade wireless card on your PC to a dual band.
I have checked the records of your laptop and you don't have an option of upgrading the wireless card to a dual band.
You cannot upgrade the wireless card on your PC to a dual band. Because your PC was shipped with a single antenna. For a dual-band wireless card, you would need two wireless antennas to work.
Also, you would need a dual-band router to get the full speed.
The only supported wireless cards on your laptop are:
Realtek RTL8723DE 802.11 bgn 1x1 WiFi + BT 4.2 Combo Adapter 927230-855
Realtek RTL 8188EE 802.11 bgn 1x1 WiFi Adapter 927235-855
Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + BT 4.2 Combo Adapter 863934-855
Refer product specifications page of your laptop to know more information.
Also, Refer the laptop user guide to know more information.
You can purchase the part from HP parts store using this link.
However, as an alternate option, you can purchase a wireless dual band USB adapter for your laptop.
I found few best Wi-Fi USB Adapters refer this link for more information.
If the solution provided worked for you, please mark accepted solution for this post.
Hope this answers your query!
Have a wonderful day ahead! 🙂
