@DMM3

 

Sorry to say No, it only supprts 2.4GHz

 

         https://www.cnet.com/products/realtek-rtl8723be-network-adapter/specs/

 

But the series supports the following cards

 

NetworkingIntegrated wireless options with single antenna (M.2):
Compatible with Miracast-certified devices
Support for the following WLAN formats:

● Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11bgn 1x1 Wi-Fi Adapter

● Realtek RT8723BE 802.11bgn 1x1 Wi-Fi + BT4.0 Combo Adapter

● Broadcom BCM43142 802.11 bgn 1x1 Wi-Fi + BT4.0 HMC Combo Adapter

● Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 802.11 ac 1x1 WiFi + BT 4.0 Combo Adapter

 

The last one is a dual band card which support both 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz

 

Regards.

Do you know if the Intel AC3165 will work on a HP 250 G4? The reason I ask is that all the adapters listed above (except the Intel) are supported on my laptop.

 

EDIT: I guess it isn't according to this thread.
