Description fails to describe the bands. What bands does this cover? The description doesn't discuss the bands and I'm wondering what it supports. By this I mean ... 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, 5Ghz, 2.4Ghz, etc.Does anyone know? I'm looking to extend my network inside of Chicago, but am looking to provide my family the fastest possible connection. Presently we have a gigabit wired network and a 802.11n for wireless. We do have a few older devices that only support G or B, but most everything is now N at 5Ghz. Description fails to describe the bands. What bands does this cover?

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.

I agree with Robby. I can't understand why people buy this unit rather than the Ubiquiti Networks PICO2HP 2.4GHz 802.11bg High Power which is exactly the same hardware at a fraction of the cost.

These are parts of the radio spectrum used by Wi-Fi devices. 2.4 GHz is used by 802.11b and 802.11g devices, as well as wireless phones, microwave ovens, bluetooth, etc - making it "busy" and interference prone. 5 GHz is used by newer 802.11a and 802.11n devices, with typically less interference. These same 802.11a/n devices can usually also "fall back" to the 2.4 GHz range, if needed, trading interoperability and reach for speed (11a/n is faster).

Hello,The 5Ghz is basically how strong and wide will be the wireless signal.It just depends how far do you need the wireless to be.

You can set up different SSIDs with each band. Obviously AC is reserved for 5ghz if you wish to use it. I have mine set up to run 2.4ghz as one SSID and 5.0 as another. Both CAN run simultaneously, but it's not required. You can run either/or without the other.

WiFi devices that meet IEEE 802.11ac and 802.11n standards get their higher bandwidth by operating in the 5 GHz band but this antenna is designed for the legacy "b" and "g" 2.4 GHz band. Although it may "work" somewhat at 5 GHz, it's likely to have a screwy radiation pattern and will not function at all like it does at 2.4 GHz. If you're interested in the higher bandwidth advantages of "ac" or "n" WiFi, look for antennas designed for 5 GHz WiFi. If you need support for legacy equipment as well, look for antennas designed for dual-band (5 and 2.4 GHz) operation or use two separate antennas.

Hi, the band allow in 3G of our phone are as below:* Core frequency: 1920 ~ 1980MHz, 2110 ~ 2170MHz (respectively for uplink and downlink)* Supplemental Frequency: 1755 ~ 1785MHz, 1850 ~ 1880MHz (respectively for uplink and downlink)It works well with the 3G network of USA and Europe.Thanks and hope to do business with you,AAABTC

there are three kinds of wi-fi b, g, and n, listed in order of how good they are. Most places still support b & G but N is the wave of the future. You probably won't notice the difference now, but over time you will.

This modem/router is an 802.11n dual band WiFi router, meaning it broadcasts across both the 2.4Ghz and 5 Ghz spectrums. It does so separately, so you can connect both 802.11ac and 802.11n devices, or disable one of the antennas to use only one of those portions of the spectrum.

Wireless networks up to 2.4 Ghz... 802.11 b,g,n ok. Not compatible with 5Ghz networks.

Hello Molly, No, It's a wireless router. The 5 GHz band has a shorter range compared to a 2.4 GHz band because in radio frequencies, the higher the frequency the shorter its range. In other words, if you are using a lower frequency like the 2.4 GHz, the distance it will cover will be greater than the 5 GHz band. If you want to "extend" and\or increase weak signal within an area, than you will need to invest in a wireless range extender. I hope I was able to understand your question?

I live in Naperville, IL about 40 miles from Chicago. I would check some other Best Buys. Just look on the side of the box if you see i7-4510 and WLAN: AC+BT4.0 its the newer model, the only difference on the cpu is about .2ghz on low end and .1 on the high end, but WiFi works perfect! and it is dual band

Our household has 7 People and the following devices: 4 apple laptops, 2 I-pads, 3 Intel/windows based NetBooks, 4 Intel based computers and a few I-phones and none of us have had issue's using this router. And the newer tablets are supposed to automatically connect using the 5GHZ band, which none of us have newer products that use this band....yet.Hope this helps.

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).

One of two things, either you will have a stronger signal reception or they are for individual bands like a/b/g/n and the new one think it was ac or something with 2 letters i know some routers broadcast over multiple bands at the same time so it should use whichever is strongest and readily available

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.

Stephen, I have the same concern as you. I enjoy a 802.11n Apple Extreme/Express Netwok, but want to buy the Zep Air. Apple customer support told me that any (g) device (laptop, router, etc.) on an (n) network defaults to (g) speeds, but I notice that only happens when the (g) device is being used. So, I wonder if the potential slow down with the Zep Air would be limited to when it is streaming music? I appreciate anything more you may know on this.

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.
