WiFi Card Upgrade for Inspiron 3721

Greetings from South Africa,

my trusted and reliable Inspiron is now over 5 years old. WiFi connection, however, is not great. The Wireless card 1704 only connects to 2.4 GHz channels. Is it possible to upgrade the card to access the 5 GHz channel of my home network? Which card could you recommend and where can I get it (in SA?)?

Many thanks

Regards

Leejay1953,

Dell only tested 2.4GHz WiFi cards in this model. Disable the 1704 WiFi in the Device Manager. Then you will need to purchase a USB WiFi Dual Band 2.4GHz/5GHz adapter.
