Is this an "ac" router since it broadcasts over 5ghz or no?

Speed not an ac router. Asus routers that are AC have that listed in the actual naming of the device. Note this router is outstanding for a large condo.

this is not an ac router. The frequency of 5 ghz transfers at a maximum of 400 mbps in contrast a wireless ac router would transfer on the 1 gbps range, double the speed. The dual band is simply a setting to expose 2 frequency channels and not oversaturate that specific wireless network.

Hi mamdouh. Since this is a dual band wireless adapter, the 2.4 GHz has a wider range than the 5GHz network. But, the adapter's speed itself is up to 867 Mbps on 5GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz frequency.

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!

Not possible with my router (WNR3500 which is 2.4Ghz) . Needs to be 5Ghz. I'm returning the bridge and getting the bundle which is two of them.

Answers see to be conflicting - All our WiFi devices, 2 cell phones, 2 tablets, smart TV, and 2 laptops use 5Ghz. I have a high-end dual band router (ARRIS / Motorola Surfboard SBG6782-AC) and live in a home with lots of stucco walls/wire mesh = very poor wireless reception. I get about 5 Mbps WiFi outside the room where the router is located, but 125 Mbps with ethernet cable. Will this antenna boost the 5Ghz signal or just the 2.4Ghz? Thanks!

I am not an expert or anything but i'll tell you what I did. I made no adjustments just installed right out of the box and followed the exact instructions. I have 5ghz connections to their connections and the others regular. I have my router upstairs and on a 20mbps plan I get between 24-27 dload with 6-7 upload (speedtest.net) I did notice with either my galaxy s3 or wireless laptop (both 5ghz) I get faster speeds downstairs than in the same room as rhe router. Weird but true. My desktop gets about 26-28 wired. Make sure u don't haveany dead spots in the house that are causing slow speeds. In my house if I go from my family room to my living room like 20 feet away my speeds literally cuts in half. Dload the app for netgear (Wi-Fi analytics) and see which areas of your house give you what speeds. Like I mentioned in my review I had the asus rt-n66u dark knight and saw no improvement over this. Pretty much identical. Good luck and try the app in multiple spots of your residence.

It is supposed to extend both 2.4 and 5GHz but mine would only see the 2.4GHz band. I ended up returning mine. Also I would not the range on these devices is not near that of a normal wireless router. It is not a bad little device but if you have big expectations for additional range you may be disappointed.

Wireless-N can be broadcast at 2 frequencies - 2.4ghz (same as B/G) and 5ghz. Most likely your router is set to broadcast at 5ghz and the adapter on the BD390 can only work at 2.4ghz. I had a similar problem - I have a dual-band router that broadcasts at both 2.4 & 5ghz. The SSID for the 2.4 is "NetG" and "NetN" for the 5ghz. My computer and notebook can both see "NetN" but the BD390 (and other Wireless-G devices) can only see the "NetG" network tellilng me that it only operates on the 2.4ghz mode. Your solution is fairly easy. Go into the router settings and under the "Wireless" tab, where you can specify the broadcast frequency. Set it to 2.4ghz and your BD390 will be able to see it fine.

2.4 Ghz works perfectly. I don't have a 5Ghz WiFi router, so I don't know if there is any performance gain from the higher frequency, but I suspect not, assuming similar signal strengths for both.

Yes it is a 80211 ac router. It's actually the first ac model asus came out with.

This product Supports Both 11AC ( 5GHz Band ) and 11n ( 2.4GHz Band ) Wi-Fi Connectivity. I am not sure if it support 11n 5ghz. If your router will need to support these feature.

According to the computer properties screen, and the box, it is 3.5ghz. I think that was in my review of this product, too.

According to their site as well as the documentation that comes with the product, this specific model ONLY broadcasts at 2.4GHz. The Unifi Pro models, are both 2.4 and 5GHz capable, but that capability comes at an increased price. (still probably less than any other comparable product though....)

I wish I could provide a more detailed answer but I had to do nothing special and it seems to be catching both 2.5 and 5gHz spectrum and giving me 650 mbps. It is a solid device in my opinion.

If your router supports only 802.11ac (5 GHz frequency) then it will not work. this antenna only works for 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHZ frequency). if your router has the option to change between either frequency then you can easily change over to the 2.4GHz frequency and use the outdoor antenna. Note also that you cannot connect to ac devices with a 5GHz frequencies if you are on a 2.4GHz frequency! Please see http://www.alfa.com.tw/products_list.php?pc=47&PageID;=2, to see operating frequency

No. The user manual specifies that it is 802.11b/g compatible and its frequency range is in the 2.4Ghz range (no 5Ghz spectrum support). That said, many if not most 802.11n routers operate in a mixed mode that is backwards compatible with b/g devices.

I am running 6mbps through the A.T.&T.. This unit has no problem with it.Love the way it handles HD streams
