A technician is tasked with upgrading the wireless card in a laptop to improve its connection to newly installed 5 GHz access points throughout an office. The technician has already confirmed that the laptop is compatible with dual-band wireless cards. After safely opening the laptop and installing the new wireless card, what is the NEXT step the technician should take in order to ensure proper functionality?
Power on the laptop, check for the wireless card in Device Manager, and update drivers if necessary.
Immediately attempt to connect to a 5 GHz network to confirm the functionality of the newly installed card.
Replace the laptop's battery to ensure that it has enough power to support the higher frequency band.
Configure the laptop’s BIOS settings to enable the wireless card before the operating system boots up.
