Can this router run 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz simultaneously?

You can look for information at linksys It says it does run 2.4Ghz and 5 Ghz..... go to the address for more information. http://www.linksys.com/en-apac/products/routers/E2500

I found it has poor performance and even worst range - also it does only 2.4 OR 5 ghz, not both at the same time.

I don't think so. My router has both 2.4/5, but it only showed the 2.4 connection

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 not personally used the 5 ghz access point, just using the 2.4 band, but when my sister was visiting for ten days with her laptop, she accessed it without any problems. We have been very happy with the Anker unit.

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

Yes! This system operates within the 2.4GHz band - and, from my own personal experience, it uses nearly ALL of the 2.4GHz band. It completely walked all over my router and wireless connections.

Yes it can. And to correct the previous answer, the ac standard this card supports in itself isn't the only 5ghz. You can have the n standard in 5ghz or 2.4ghz as well. I do believe the new ac standard is only 5ghz though.

I would not recommend it. I tried to set them up on straight line 1200 ft link with moderate trees and got no signal. The 2.4 ghz would be a better choice. The 5ghz needs clear LOS. I had to raise them above the trees and then they worked fine.

Yes. I'm currently using Win 8.1 with all updates and everything is fine on 2.4 and 5 Ghz. Personal note...Don't forget to use the "WLAN" control center software that came with the dongle. It simplifies things. Also, my router is the Asus AC1900. Pricey but, worth every penny. It's a home network beast. It is able to broadcast on both bands at the same time. I had another router that said it worked on both bands. Sadly, not at the same time. Make sure your router can deliver whatever your looking for.

A 2.4 ghz system automatically changes channels.you can run 10 or more without worring bout interferening with each other.

I have a dual-band router... the Asus "Dark Knight" router (a VERY nice router). It has both 5.0 and 2.4 bands on "n" wireless. My BD device only sees the 2.4 band. In fact, I only have a couple of devices which can see my "5.0" channel. In those cases, I always connect them to the 5.0 band, because it's so seldom used otherwise.

Yes, this router can utilize 5 GHz however if your existing router is only 2.4 GHz the back haul from the extender will be on the 2.4 GHz channel. If you connect to the extender on 5GHz exclusively it will use the 2.4GHz channel for the extender to router communication using the "Boostband" technology. Think of this much like a restaurant kitchen with 2 doors, one for entry and the other as an exit. It's more efficient and neither are competing with each other. If you use the 2.4 GHz on the extender to connect with your devices and for the connection to the main router the communication speed will be cut in half. This is due to the necessity to use the same frequency for both connection to the main router and all of your devices connected to the extender. This of this as a restaurant kitchen with just a single door.

On the manufacturers home page it states 2.4 GHz so I am assuming that it only supports 802.11b/g. I would expect them to offer an N class 5 GHz band once the standard has been fully accepted by all manufacturers.

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.

Yes, it supports 2.4GHz (b, g, n) and 5GHz (a, ac, n).All legacy b devices will work.
