This is a Centrino Advanced-N 6250 which is a dual band card. It is not 802.11ac but can send and receive in the 5 ghz band.

There is no other compatible 5ghz capable card. Your laptop still has the HP whitelist and can only work with wireless cards listed in the manual and it must be a card with an HP part number not the same chip without an HP part number.
