Upgrading WiFi card in laptop

Hi guys

Quick question

My Proteus II laptop can only connect to the 2.4 GHz Frequency on my home WiFi and I seem to get much slower speeds than I get on my phone which is connected to the 5 GHz frequency. 15-40 mbps and 110-130 mbps respectively. If I buy a new wifi card capable of connecting via 5 GHz will there be any compatibility issues? And should this improve matters? Or are the 5GHz dongles any good?

Current card - Intel Wireless-N 7260

Thanks in advance

Dan

I doubt you will get a noticeable increase in performance from 2.4 to 5Ghz. I would still suggest, if it is an option, to go for a killer wireless card.
