Wifi card replacement

[Domingues]

What dual band card can I buy to replace my REALTEK RTL8723DE 802.11b/g/n PCI-e mini?

I'm asking because I recently got 5g and this card does not detect it it only connects to the 2.4ghz.

Here is a photo of my current wifi card:

Hi, @Domingues 

The Intel 9461AC wifi card won't work at all in your notebook.

The other Intel cards...you have a choice.

You can either have the wifi work, or you can have the bluetooth work, but you won't be able to get both to work because those cards require two antenna cables, and your notebook only has one.

The ONLY dual band AC wifi card you can install, where both the wifi and bluetooth will work with one antenna is this one.

Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 ac 1x1 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter (MU-MIMO supported)   HP Part # L17365-005

The card has been on back order from HP for eons now, but you can find one for sale on eBay.

Hi:

If you connect the single antenna cable to the wifi card's main terminal the wifi will work, but the bluetooth won't.

If you connect the single antenna cable to the wifi card's auxiliary terminal, the bluetooth will work, but the wifi won't.
