Hi there. My Acer E5-571 laptop has a Qualcomm Atheros AR956x network adapter. Can this adapter conect to my 5g network?It only shows methe 2.4g network when I search for available networks. I'm 100% sure our modem is sending out 5g.

    The wifi card doesn't support 5GHz wifi, you can upgrade with another card that supports 5GHz like Intel N-7260, AC7260
