Hello one of the three WIFI Antennas on my pc broke off so i need to replace it with a new one. But on amazon and ebay all of the wifi Antennas all say 2.4ghz and i can not seem to get 5ghz ones in the uk. I am connected to my hubs 5ghz wifi network.

It if works like how mine works, devices that are on a 2.4GHz connection won't even be able to see 5GHz connections while searching for wifi.

 

I would keep on searching for a 5GHz antenna if you can. 1) because you may not be able to connect to it using a 2.4GHz speed, and 2) because going from 5GHz to 2.4GHz is dreadful and not a pleasant experience.
