Install TP-Link 5 GHz Adapter
Budget: $10 – $30 CAD
My desktop can only see 2.4 GHz networks, so I want to upgrade its WiFi card to a TP-Link model that supports dual-band (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz) or better—802.11ac or newer. I’m looking for someone who can:
• Recommend a compatible TP-Link PCIe or M.2 card for my motherboard’s free slot.
• Physically install the card, connect any antenna leads, and tidy the cabling inside the case.
• Install the latest TP-Link or Intel-based drivers (Windows 10) and remove the old adapter software if needed.
• Update BIOS or change UEFI settings only if required for the new card to be recognized.
• Verify that the computer reliably detects and connects to local 5 GHz networks, with speed tests to confirm performance.
Please let me know your experience with hardware upgrades, any tools you expect me to provide, and an estimated turnaround time.
