HP Pavilion g6-2320tx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi Team, 

 

I'm using an HP Pavilion g6-2320tx laptop, bought in India. The laptop is old but it works great, so I don't want to replace it. With update to a new WIFI, I don't know how I can use a 5G network on my laptop. The service manual lists below 2 dual band cards as supported for my laptop :

 

Atheros AR9285 802.11 a/b/g/n 2x2 WiFi adapter

Realtek 8188BC8 802.11a/b/g/n 2x2 WiFi and Bluetooth 3.0+HS Combo Adapter

 

But In an HP forum discussion (Solved: hp Pavilion g6 Dual Band WLAN Module Availability - HP Support Community - 5871424), HP support mentioned that these are not dual band cards. 

 

Could someone please suggest if there's any network adapter suitable for my laptop, that will enable me to run a 5G network.

Hi:

 

This dual band wifi card should work in your notebook...

 

Broadcom BCM943228HMB 802.11abgn 2×2 Wi-Fi Adapter, Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter  HP part # 730668-001.

 

You should be able to find this model wifi card on eBay or Ali Express.

 

Search by the HP part number, not the model of the wifi card.
