I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5555 with DW1707 2.4GHz w/ Bluetooth 4. Which card would be a direct replacement (same slot size) to achieve 5GHz w/ Bluetooth 4?

My new Dell Latitude 5450 with dell wireless 1707 wifi bluetooth cant find 5G network but it finds all the other available wifi in the area. My IPhone finds and connects to it. Are dell wireless 1707 wifi bluetooth compatible with 5G? If not what are my options. I paid $1400 last year so new laptop is not the option. Thanks for any input.

If you are replacing a DW1707, ONLY a DW1707 card will fit, the others are wider, with more pins. Learned this the hard way!
