Since the Netgear AC1200 would perform better than the wifi card in your laptop, I would disable it while you are using your Netgear AC1200. It confuses networking a bit if you have both enabled as sometimes you may be using the slower of the two for your networking.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You should be able to plug in & it will search for both your 2.4 & 5 WIFI. Then you select which one to connect to.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, you don't have to disable your old wifi card. When you plug in the new wifi card you will see it populate on the internet screen, so you can just select it and go.
