Product: Pavilion dm4-1160us
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Can my wireless card (2.4ghz) be replaced with a dual-band card to use the (5ghz) band on my AT&T  BGW210 Router?

Will the dual-band card work correctly in Windows 7?  Sorry about getting the "Problem Description" in the "Subject Line" on my first post.

Your machine was manufactured around April 2011 therefore due to the whitelist the chance to upgrade a new wifi card is still  to none. Option: Please try

And it works perfectely on my machine its speed is similar to to my 1HBit NICS.
