Trying to upgrade my network card so I have 5ghz. From what I gather I'll need to install a second antenna. Is that possible with this model? And any recommendations would be great! Thanks ahead of time!

You can upgrade to this model Wi-Fi card without having to add a second antenna wire.

 

Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11ac 1 × 1 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter (MU-MIMO supported)   HP part # L17365-005

 

There should be plenty of them for sale on eBay.
