Product: Pavilion 17
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
HI everyone! So I've had my computer for years and it's working great. However, I have noticed that I am working wireless on 2.4g band and I can't seem to access my 5G band choice in my router. I can see my lower band but not 5G. Is there an upgrade option for me to acquire 5G capabilities? Oh my wife and my mom have the same computer in different colors. It would be awesome to bring the 5G to the family.

We need to know what EXACTLY are they, not just simply Pavilion 17 . Depending their ages, you can change internal wifi adapters otherwise you can use USB dongles.
Regards.
