Hi, Can I upgrade my notebook to support 5GHZ? If so, can you provide the proper HP part number?

HP Notebook - 15-ac156nr. This notebook comes with a REALTEK RTL8723BE 802.11 bgn wifi adaptor.

Thank You,

Dave

This computer doesn't support a 5GHZ wifi adapter. Please follow this link for the user guide. 🙂

Let me know how that pans out. 🙂

I hope you have a good day ahead,

And Feel free to ask any other queries as  well,

Considering, this forum has some of the best people in the world available and ready to help. 😉

Hi,

Thank you so much for responding to my question.  I looked at the service guide - page 3 yesterday and saw the below. Can you explain the last option in bold/italics? This led me to believe that I could purchase the AC 3165 and get 5GHZ since it is dual band.

Thanks

Dave
