I have just looked this up, which is somewhat hidden. According to information from MSI in the following PDF, an Intel Wireless-AC 3168 is installed. https://storage-asset.msi.com/datasheet/mb/de/B550M-PRO-VDH-WIFI.pdf According to Intel's information, a 2.4GHz and 5GHz band is covered and thus complies with the 802.11ac standard.
