From lspci:

I don't know whether that is an old card or not. I think the laptop was in the $300-$400 range when we got it. Inspiron 15-3551, came with Ubuntu pre-installed, which has since been swapped out for Debian.
This Dell support link [1] seems to confirm that it is 2.4Ghz only.

- ac29 6y agoYeah, thats an ath9k card (802.11n). 5Ghz was optional in the 802.11n days, so only higher end devices tended to support it.
