Hi:

 

Your notebook has a BIOS whitelist which blocks the installation of any other model Wi-Fi adapter from working other than the one currently installed in your notebook.

 

Therefore, upgrading the Wi-Fi card is not possible.

 

Your only option for dual band Wi-Fi would be to purchase a dual band USB Wi-Fi adapter.

 

If the Bluetooth isn't working either, you can purchase a dual band USB Wi-Fi card such as this model which also has Bluetooth.
