Does BD-H5900 have a dual-band (2.4 and 5GHz) Wi-Fi?

I have to bd-h5900 and it does not find my dual band 5g section of my router

I also contacted Samsung support about the BD-HM57C and they state 5Ghz is only supported with an adapter as the "Built-In Wi-Fi" only has 2.4Ghz. This is very misleading as the outside of the box clearly states under "BUILT-IN Wi-Fi" that it supports both 2.4 and 5GHZ.

Funny you should ask. Although the packaging for the unit does mention support for both 2.4 and 5GHz networks, the player is unable to find my 5GHz network, but is able to discover the 2.4GHz network easily. I'm thinking there's a misprint on the packaging itself.

It's dual band N. It has 2 separate 802.11N based connections. (2.4 Ghz, 5Ghz) And one for G (2.4 Ghz). It offers higher throughput if you have hardware on the other end that supports dualband N.

Only for the anntena that provides you with the 2.4 frequency you have to then get a dual band one and one that does 5.0 to answer yes only to the 2.4 ghz anntenna

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 does. "Ultra-fast Wireless-N Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g/n) for accessing home and corporate networks as well as hotspots while on the go." It's in the description.

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.

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.

Yes. The router broadcasts at 2.4 and 5ghz. And it can do b/g/n on 2.4 and a/n/AC on 5ghz

Yes, this model has integrated Wi-Fi (as well as direct Ethernet and Z-wave support). The "S" at the end of the model (TUXWIFIS) indicates the color. This is not the 6280i, it is the TUXWIFIS. You are correct about the 6280i, is not Wi-Fi (but does support Z-wave). The 6280WIFI would be the Wi-Fi compatible version of the 6280i.

Yes it does have dual band in the WiFi adapter settings. Tried all options but grew tired of trying options that failed.

As far as I know, no. I just looked through the firmware and I don't see any options for 5 GHz.

Yes. I've got both dual band networks that show up in the wi-fi list from the extender.

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.

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

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.

The 5 supports dual band wifi and has additional hardware improvements I believe. They look the same and both work great. You can find additional comparisons online.

No, I Have a dual band router and it only picks up 2.4. In fact that is my last favorite part of this laptop is the wireless. It constantly drops my wifi. It shows connected bit is not. I've bought a new USB wireless and a new w router to make sure it's my network card's issue. Other than that, it's been a good laptop.
