Upgrade?

[Tom2rn]

Is it possible to upgrade the Wi Fi card to capture the 5 ghz networks?  She's a pretty old computer.  Started out with Win 8, but upgraded to Win 10 64 bit and SSD.  I3 chip.  If so, any particular card I should use?  Thanks,

Your machine was built around 2012. Due to the whitelist, the chance to upgrade its wifi adapter to newer adapter is from very slim to none.

It supports the following list

• Atheros AR9485 802.11b/g/n 1x1 WiFi Adapter 675794-001
• Atheros 9485GN 802.11b/g/n 1x1 WiFi and 3012 Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter 655795-001
• Broadcom 4313GN 802.11b/g/n 1x1 WiFi and 20702 Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter 657325-001
• Ralink WLAN Ralink Ripple3 RT5390F_802.11 b/g/n 1x1 PCIe HMC 670691-001
• Atheros AR9565 802.11bgn 1x1 WiFi + BT4.0 combo Adapter 690019-001
• Ralink RT3290LE 802.11bgn 1x1 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter 690020-001
• Ralink RT5390R 802.11bgn 1x1 Wi-Fi Adapter 691415-001
• Atheros AR9485 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter for use in Brazil 712639-201

None of them supports 5GHz.

Option: You can use USB adapter which is similar to the following one
