If I'm going to use it in mesh mode, what is the maximun linear range in 5 ghz and for user acces what is maximun linear range in 2.4 ghz ?

We are almost getting 5 ghz to reach 100 yards. We use it for outdoor coverage and the has enough power to also go though buildings to the interior. But under 100 yards.

Beam forming only works on 5GHz bands anyway. It would have no effect on 2.4GHz. So even without doing research, I'd say the antenna is a great investment.

I use this on a laptop with a dual band Asus router. I have the same result as you, I see the 2.4GHz but not the 5GHZ. Seems rediculous that Asus reciever can not see Asus dual band router. On other hand it locks on to the 2.4GHz signal very well and so I am happy enough. Guess if can not detect 5Ghz from Asus router than this is not such a great product.

This product uses 27 MHz wireless which has a maximum practical range of about 6 feet. I wish they made this point a lot more clear! You'd be better off getting 2.4GHz technology which should increase the range.

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

If I remember correctly it comes down to the 3G frequencies each model uses, e.g. the L is 850/1900/2100 MHz and I chose that model because they are the frequencies that are prevalent in the places I visit most (e.g. Europe, North America). Depending on where you are located and where you visit one of the other models' frequencies may suit you better. Hope that helps.

the range of this transmitter is very good, look I live in a small town in Honduras, about my city is about 5 km, so I have an antenna TYPE: Wave 8.5 Vertical Collinear Antenna FM this is the link of the antenna : 5/8 Wave Collinear Vertical FM Antenna .... I hope you serve the information, if you have other queries you make it

As far as I know, the unit only has 2.4 GHz radio frequency. I have not had problems with it.

It will depend a lot on how clear of a path you have to the Airport Extreme. Also 5ghz will not travel as far as the 2.4ghz channel. I would guess that it will not connect at that distance or it will be a very weak connection. If you are looking to connect two buildings at that distance I would look at setting up a true wireless bridge with a pair of Nano Station M5's. Wire 1 to the Airport Extreme and then point it at the second with the best line of sight possible. Then wire the second M5 to the UniFi AC and that will bridge the two and give you a stable connection and the best throughput.

It is indeed 2.4 GHz. I bought one for my better half in August of 2013. Her only real issue was an initial delay while attempting to connect with our wireless. A little internet research solved the problem. I wish I could remember so I could tell you what the solution was. I *think* it had something to do with having drivers from two different vendors and eliminating one, maybe having to choose between Acer's vs the one from the wireless adapter's manufacturer. Sorry I can't recollect the correct solution. But again, to answer your question, 2.4 GHz is correct.

Dual band is 2.4ghz and 5.0ghz bands. Normally 5.0 ghz is reserved for video streaming.

The answers below are incorrect. If you have a dual-band router and attach this, it will boost ONLY your 2.4 GHz band and completely disable your 5.0 GHz band. I found this out the hard way. This antenna will NOT boost any 5.0 GHz band. It ONLy works on the 2.4 GHz band.

It's just a mistype. It is designed for and works in the 2.4 and 5 GHz ranges like normal.

It is both N and Ac, if your wireless devices support AC. Dual band of 2.4 and 5 ghz. My laptop only uses 2.4, my cell phone can use both 2.4 and 5ghz. 2.4 will travel further, but 5 may have greater bandwidth, as I understand it

The main difference is that the Linksys WMP600N support both 2.4GHz and 5GHz (only new devices support this band, most people use it for HD vidoe streaming) frequency bands. Here is the comparsion of both cards via their specs @ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=-1&IsNodeId=1&Description=WMP600N&bop=And&CompareItemList=-1|33-704-031^33-704-031-TS%2C33-124-342^33-124-342-TS&percm=33-124-342%3A%24%24%24%24%24%24%24

The ubiquiti units are point to multipoint, however, we always dedicate a pair to each link. We have a mix of different frequency units to avoid interference from each other and trees, etc.. If you use a bunch of units on the same frequency, you will need to reduce the spectrum for each, which reduces the throughput. The 5GHz units must be direct line of sight. We only have about .1 to .5 mile separation, with 900, 2.4, 3.65 and now 5 GHz links, so not experienced with this unit over longer distance. See other answer about 120 degrees, these units are highly directional.

Not sure what the question is. Listed as 2.4ghz and 5ghz band. Anyway I'm pleased with my improved reception. Had a problem with router being at one end of house and signal traveling 70 feet through several sheetrock walls and a brick wall. Now my man cave that is enclosed in sheetrock and brick gets good wifi signals.
