your machine is a bit old. It supports 2.4GHz networks only.

 

Quick fix: To allow your router to broadcast DUAL bands, you machine can see 2.4GHz SSID and allow you to connect.

Long term fix: You can replace its wifi adapter as mentioned on its manual

 

              Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 802.11 ac 2x2 WiFi + BT 4.0 Combo Adapter (non vPRO) part # 784644-005

 

Sorry, the above adapter requires 2 antennas. You can use Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + BT 4.0 Combo Adapter

 

 

Regards.
