Hi:

 

Below is the link to the parts list for the product number you posted.

 

HP PartSurfer

 

None of the Wi-Fi adapters listed at the bottom of the list, support 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi, and your notebook has a BIOS whitelist which prevents the installation of any other model Wi-Fi adapter other than those listed in the parts list.

 

If you want dual band Wi-Fi, you will need to purchase a USB wifi adapter.
