It appears to be a specific laptop model, but its design makes sense without a 5GHz card pre-approved. You might want to check online communities for discussions about modifying the whitelist.

I explored white list hacking options before reaching out to the team for a review. They mentioned at that time there wasn't much demand and that their focus was mainly on Intel boards. Around 2011-12, 5GHz processors weren't common, which likely explains why dual-band or 5GHz cards weren't white listed. My laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad Z585 with an A10-4600M APU; some models had A8 APUs, but mine uses the A10.

It was utilized previously. In fact, 802.11 A came before WiFi 4 and operated on a 5GHz frequency. The problem with WiFi 4 was that 5GHz compatibility wasn't necessary. Therefore, there were options like single band, dual band selection, and simultaneous dual band models. WiFi 5 demanded 5GHz support, which is why modern devices now include it.

I thought the AC protocol was missing because Lenovo didn’t provide any cards besides 2.4GHz on their white list, especially for my Z585 model. Probably I’m facing a dead end.

No air conditioning required. Wireless N supports both frequency bands. Check compatibility before use. It won’t match the speed of AC, but it performs better than a 2.4 GHz-only setup.
