My hp pavilion x360 has issues detecting nearby wifi

[PokefanILMA48]

I bought the laptop in the last week of June but opened the laptop around 12 days ago. Upon starting the laptop, I saw that the laptop is recognizing just my home's wifi and its speed was tremendously low. Due to that, it was unable to connect to the home wifi. As I got right next to the wifi router, its speed got normal. Also, it only connects to the 5GHz connection, never to the 2.5 GHz connection. Then, as I moved a bit far away from the router, the wifi connection would disconnect right away. However, wifi works perfectly on my other laptop and phone from my room. My other laptop can detect other wifis within their correct range as well; hp laptop is unable to do that. I have tried updating my network adapter so many times, updated my windows, also installed some hp network software from the hp solutions website. Everything has been in vain. This laptop is so perfect, however, this wifi issue is not letting me get the best use of my new laptop. 

Please help me!

My network adapter has many options in it when I expand it. Which one are you talking about specifically?
