Hi
Step 1 is to look to see if there is 1 or 2 antenna cables installed.
Step 2 consider whether the existing antenna could be fitted to the 5.0 Ghz only.
I have never installed an antenna cable so I cannot say.
I have - Network Card Installed : Realtek RTL8723BE 802.11 bgn
Wi-Fi Adapter Connection Name: WiFi DHCP Enabled: Yes
