wifi AC (band 5GHz)

[ByronRizo]

Hi there,

I have a HP 15-DA0015LA and the wifi card only has access to 2.4GHz band, and i need to connect to a 5GHz band router, i already looked for info on this forum and found that there are other options:

Intel Dual band wireless-AC 3168 802.11AC 1×1 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter 863934-855
Realtek RTL8822BE 802.11 ac 2×2 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter 924813-855
Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11 ac 1×1 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Adapter L17365-005

but i cannot find any of them in my country, and when I try amazon i cannot get shipping to my country (colombia)

i asked HP support in Colombia, they give me a few telephone numbers but all service centers treat me like if I am having an issue with my card and ask me for a revision and that is a cost i´m not goint to pay, and they refuse me to even talk about sell me one of the cards listed above.

here are my questions:

1. is there any other option globally to get any of that spare parts (wifi module)

2. are there any other options beside the ones above, i mean i can find in normal market another options but all of them have two (2) antenna connectors, and my laptop only has one antenna, will they work? 

3. I found the Intel model 8265NGW P/N G86C0007J610 , will this work with only one antenna?

Thanks in advance,

Byron
