Product: Compaq CQ62
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

i realize the wifi card is both single (2.4g) and a whitelist item.  What kind of USB adapter will work with my Compaq CQ 62 software in order to get 5g reception?  Are these adapters simply plug-and-play, or do I need some additional software.  Also, does the stock wifi card need to be removed in order for a USB wifi to work?  

 

Thanks!
