When in wireless mode, does WiFi require the 5Ghz band, or can it communicate on the 2.4Ghz band?

I'm using Maraki MR12 AP's which operate only in the 2.4 spectrum. It worked fine for the most part, but definitely consumed a good portion of the available bandwith on the when running at 4CIF @ 15fps. Pay attention to proximity to the AP and other apps running on the WLAN

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.

It uses both....one or the other...I use 2.4GHz as the camera only need 5-10 Megabits to work properly and its a 802.11g device...The HD version of these cameras will require 802.11n and use more megabits..

I'm not sure, but I think it's using 2.4GHz wifi. And it works well with Apple devises.

First, you should know that all current Wi-Fi signals from A to N operate on a 2.4ghz frequency band. G suffers from interference problems from other devices operating on the same frequency levels like wireless telephones for example. Within the 2.4Ghz band there are 14 internationally designated wi-fi channels. Depending on where you live you can access between 10 to all 14. I think the U.S. only allows 12 for reasons I won't get in to here. Bottom line is that if your neighbors are using a certain channel and you get interference, with a G router you have plenty of others to choose from. The good news is that a G router's optimal range is about 100 meters and degrades enough that only your immediate neighbors will interfere with your signal. So most of the time it isn't a problem, just switch to another channel... N routers operate on 2.4Ghz AND 5Ghz. The optimal range is also tripled to roughly 300 meters. The advantage here is that the 5Ghz band (if you decide to utilize it) doesn't have much traffic so you are ensured a good signal. But in an apartment, I always found G was fine if I switched to a channel my neighbors weren't using. So, my advice is to buy G. Also a lot of companies jumped a ahead and implemented N before it was even approved by the IEEE (it'll be official January 2010). I've had problems with all brands of N working with each other over the past few years. Also, if you buy a N, you'll have to enable B and G anyway if you have older computers or visitors with old laptops. If you don't they won't be able to use your wireless. N is too new.

It's only 2.4ghz I would buy a 2.4 5.8ghz dual antenna so router works at 100% efficiency

This model will connect to any available WiFi network compatible with a 2.4 GHz band. Regards. Jeannette

I was concerned with that very issue but I changed to a dual band router and put the WiFi dongle on the 5 network (subwoofer operates on the 2.4). Everything works great, however, after almost 3 hours on the phone with a friend in another city trying go get his WiFi BluRay player to stay connected, I had all but given up. Out of desperation I asked him the usual questions (Microwave, 2.4 phones, baby monitor) and he happened to mention this soundbar. After a few tests with reproducable failures, it appears that it CAN significantly interfere with 2.4 WiFi.

This part definitely supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz; I'm currently using it at 5GHz. But I think I'm using 802.11n; max throughput is around 240-270 Mb/s (using Linux Mint 16 and an Intel wifi PCIe card). So I can't say about 802.11ac.

My computer, the Aspire R7-571, does have the wifi issue. I wrote about it in my review. I still use a single band 2.4ghz router. When close to the router, I get about half speed. Instead, I use a wireless adapter in one of my USB ports and works great. I get full speeds that way.

wifi dual range run both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz -- 2.4 typically has much larger range, but the channels are separate so if you set upa bridge to extend your wifi range and it can use the 5ghz channel, you get higher total throughput on the extended 2.4 channel since it won't use your existing 2.4 bandwidth. The net performance on the extended link is a bit lower since you'll have a bit of latency as the bridge needs to retransmit packets to your wifi hub.

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).

I own the ASUS RT-AC66U wireless router that it works fine with. Since my router is dual signal I really don't know if it is working on the 2.4 or 5 Ghz. I would assume it would work since it is a dual band adapter.

This tablet will connect to a 5 Ghz router pushing a 2.4 Ghz signal, the wireless card in it is only 802.11 b/g/n.

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.

I don't know how far range can coverage? How many feet?How about wi fi speed for 5ghz and 2.4ghz?

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 don't know for certain, but I am inclined to believe it does not support 5Ghz. I have several bands of wireless in my home, including 5ghz, but when I look at the wireless connections found by the laptop, it is only showing me the 2.4Ghz connections. If there is a way, I'd like to know. Generally, if I'm on a device that recognizes all bands, it will show the 5ghz.

Absolutely! Do the following: Right click the network adapter icon on your taskbar&gt;go to "network and sharing"&gt;change adapter settings&gt;right click on the ACA1&gt;properties&gt;configure&gt;advanced tab&gt;wireless mode&gt;then change to 5Ghz only
