I want to use this as a 5GHz Ethernet Adapter, is that possible? I can't find the option, if exists, in the UI.

Yes, my son has his setup in the Wireless Extender Mode and he can access 5G. Yes.

This should be the default set-up. There are three set-ups: Bridge, Ethernet adapter, and Repeater. I have only set these up as repeaters, but am planning on switching at least one to Ethernet. Here is a link that was quite helpful to me:http://www.thinkbroadband.com/hardware/reviews/74-asus-ea-n66.html

I paired this with an ASUS RT-N66U and used it as an Ethernet Adapter - this is its default mode. It detected the 5 GHz band as the having the best signal strength. I had quite a time getting this device to function properly. The instructions are quite lacking.

Hi. Yes you can. To help you. Please try these sites with videos. WWW.YouTube.com/watch ?v=sjojhmewyoc. Or WWW.YouTube.com/watch?v=Irwbikfiumu. Just a reminder you can only use one band at a time

I have the same problem even though I used the 5 GHz band. I ended up using a wireless bridge for all of my entertainment center components. Now I have no problems!

Hello, it works fine... Mine have been working for 3 years. To do what you want: 1) For example, Connect your internet ethernet to port 5 2) Computer A port 2 and Computer B to port 3 ------- (I am assuming you are connected on port 1) 3) Create 3 VLANs Name, for example where there are the VLANS DATA, Audio , Voip, etc... make yours (Alpha, Beta, Internet) 4) Then go to the specific sections where you can put a check on the ports and: and make sure all have the check in them, except for the ports you dont want to communicate. Done! If you want i can help you via team viewer, My twitter is @RomelSan

Hi. You get a USB to Ethernet adaptor with it, and can buy USB to rj45 very cheap.

Currently, I use this with my desktop PC and have had no problem running Elder Scrolls Online on max settings until just recently. After ruling everything else out, I think the adapter is dying after ~2 years of use. I have a Comcast Xfinity 50 Mbps connection and all other devices in the same room as the Linksys zip right along at high speeds. The Linksys has served well for awhile but I am looking into Coax to Ethernet as an alternative solution that will be less expensive and more reliable.

from everything i'm reading it does not have 5ghz support, but i'm curious if anyone has upgraded the wireless card to dual band using hardware such as the intel 6235 card. if so, i'm wondering if the a new antenna needs to be run up the side of the screen or if it is simple plug and play (i.e. replace old card, pop in new card).

You can plug the ethernet cable straight into the motherboard. No need to buy yourself a PCI card for it

Yeah... ish. I have it in my router right now and it works great in the 2.4ghz band. Im working on getting the 5ghz band up and running but I seem to be running into country code problems or it might be possible that this card doesn't support AP mode in 5Ghz mode but Im hoping for the former :) kernel 3.13. EDIT. Talked to a intel kernel dev. 5ghz is disabled for regulatory reasons.

Yes, I have configured this network card to run using hostapd, the configuration is a breeze. In order to utilize the 5 ghz you must ensure you install the most recent driver. I had to manually install the most revent iwlwifi driver. The setup I have configured is using hostapd and dnsmasq.

@ T. Vanlienden... Yes, this is exactly what I use mine for. One must keep in mind however, that this is a USB 2 and therefor the speeds are not going to be like a pure ethernet connection. As long as you're OK with the slower speed, this should work just fine for you. Hope this helps...

It is not compatible with a 2.4 GHz adapter. It is strictly 5 GHz. If you need 2.4 GHz, purchase an access point with that capability included.

thanks for clearing that up. I can't believe they'd leave the ethernet port off of the "streamlined" model, though. Very annoying! Hopefully still worth it, though. Should be a great picture, which is the most important part.

I have no idea if that would work but I have to ask why would you want to do that? Its a very expensive solution to use the multiport adapter ($77 from amazon) to replace a $20.00 Ethernet switch

Mine came with an adapter that lets you plug in a standard ethernet cable. Haven't actually tried it though.

I have two of these in use where I live. Both are in bridge mode. I bought them when I was still very limited in my networking knowledge, so any initial issues I had were simply due to my lack of experience. I do not remember ever having issues with hardware. If you are only having issues with 5 GHz, then perhaps you are pushing its range limits? While 5 GHz is awesome, it doesn't have as long of a range that 2.4 GHz does. http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24246/~/what-is-the-difference-between-2.4-ghz-%26-5ghz%3F

Caveat, I am only using WiFi, but according to the Quick Installation Guide, the RJ45 supports Gigabit Ethernet.
