  • would like to upgrade my wifi card... i think

    my router is sending out 2 signals. one at 5ghz and one at 2.5ghz. my computer, a N550JV-DB72T, is only able to pick up the 2.5ghz which im surprised at considering its a better laptop then the one i used to have :( is there any way i could upgrade my wifi card to be able to pick up the 5ghz signal? or is that not as easy as im making it sound?

    please help !!

    thx :)

    Welcome to the forum.

    A web search using: N550JV-DB72T wifi upgrade will provide detailed information.
    Youtube has quite a few N550JV videos.

    Your best performance will probably be with an Intel wireless dual band wifi card for about $25 - $30, but you will need to buy a model that will fit in the current wi-fi slot. If you want the replacement done professionally, try to find a reputable local computer shop and avoid going to the computer repair department at local big box stores such as Worst Buy.
