Hey there! @LukaFX, Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!

I understand you would like to upgrade the wireless card on your PC to a faster or a dual-band wireless card.

Don't worry I'd like to help you out.

Excellent description and a great diagnosis done. It is greatly appreciated.

I have checked the records of your laptop and you don't have an option of upgrading the wireless card to a dual band. 

You cannot upgrade the wireless card on your PC to a dual band. Because your PC was shipped with a single antenna. To use a dual-band wireless card, you would need two wireless antennas to work.

Also, you would need a dual-band router to get the full speed.

The only supported wireless cards on your laptop are:

Atheros AR9485 802.11b/g/n 1x1 WiFi Adapter 675794-005
Realtek RT8723BE 802.11bgn 1x1 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 combination adapter 753077-005
Atheros AR9565 802.11bgn 1x1 WiFi + BT4.0 combo Adapter 733476-005
Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11bgn Wi-Fi Adapter 709848-005
Broadcom BCM43142 802.11 bgn 1x1 Wi-Fi + BT4.0 HMC Combo Adapter 753076-005

Also, Refer the laptop user guide to know more information. Click Here

Note: Refer page 19 for more information.

You can purchase the part from HP parts store using this link.

However, as an alternate option, you can purchase a wireless dual-band USB adapter for your laptop.

I found few best Wi-Fi USB Adapters refer this link for more information.

Note: Upgrading the wireless card and the wireless antenna on your PC may not be a viable option. As the PC is very old and you might not get the components required to replace the part.

Hope this answers your query!

Have a wonderful day ahead! 🙂
