Upgrade wireless technology from 802.11b/g/n (1x1) to 802.11b/g/n/ac (1x1) or Realtek Wi-Fi 5 (2x2)

HP Laptop - 15t 8QQ67AV_1

I recently bought the laptop with customize option. I didn't know which one to choose on the Wireless technology options and I went on with the default. But now, I am realizing that my laptop doesn't connect 5.0Ghz networks since it is 802.11b/g/n (1x1). I want to know if there is any option to upgrade my wireless technology alone to 802.11b/g/n/ac (1x1) or Realtek Wi-F 5 (2x2) in any HP centers.

If I was you, I should select the last option with the latest technology. Now, the question is how many antenna does your machine have with $45 more.

You can upgrade your machine at least to 802.11b/g/n/ac (1x1) and Bluetooth® 4.2 combo but no parts list available yet. Please wait for few more weeks or you can try
