Similar problem with an HP Pavilion 17 - e019dx

[Rosval]

HP Pavilion 17 - e019dx - It has 2 antennas on the WIFI card, except it only sees the 2.4 connection.

Can I upgrade to a dual band card?

Thank you for your time.

Hi:

You should be able to upgrade to this model Wi-Fi adapter:

Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11 ac 2x2 Wi-Fi + BT 4.0    HP Part # 710661-001

You can find this model Wi-Fi card on eBay.

Search by the HP part number, not the model of the Wi-Fi card.

Before installing the new Wi-Fi card, go to the device manager, click to expand the Network Adapters device manager category.

Click on the Realtek RTL8188EE Wi-Fi adapter listed there, select Uninstall and check the uninstall driver box.

Shut down, unplug the PC, remove the battery and install the Intel Wi-Fi card.
