Can a laptop computer (e.g. HP 14-ck2330ng) with a Wifi Adaptor of type "802.11ac (1x1)" connect to a 2.4 GHz WiFi network? Or only a 5 GHz network?

802.11 ac only supports 5.0 GHz– RamhoundNov 8, 2019 at 15:21

1@Ramhound while it's true that 802.11ac only supports 5 GHz, 802.11ac devices are always backwards compatible with 802.11n, so this laptop with 802.11ac will have no problem at all connecting to an older router that only has a 2.4 GHz radio. It will simply fall back to 802.11n and 2.4 GHz. superuser.com/questions/1003221/802-11ac-with-a-2-4ghz-router– Mr EthernetNov 8, 2019 at 15:41

I've searched for the model number and found specs on HP website. The wireless adapter is listed as:
Intel® 802.11b/g/n/ac (1x1) Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® 4.2 Combo
So it does support 2.4 GHz (for b/g/n).
