For a Win &amp; x64 system, with a router with both bands, how do i set the adapter to 5 Ghz ? Can Win help with that ? How ?

You can force that in the settings but you have more speed and bandwidth if you allow it to use 2.4 and 5

I have a cable connection and an ancient wireless-G router. I haven't experienced any connectivity problems. My only problem so far is getting used to WIN 8 (I'm almost 66 and getting set in my ways :-D).

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

Tavis, I'm looking for a similar solution - how did you do it in the end? did you use the 2.4ghz to get that kind of distance?

I'm also using win7x64. Broadcom driver version 6.32.223.1 dated 8/22/2013, which is the version available from asus's website. I have had no problems on the 2.4GHz band. One potential difference is that I did not install Turbo LAN. I'm not sure if it even does anything for wireless connections, but in my experience added software can sometimes cause problems.

There is no such thing as a triband adapter. The router has 2 5Ghz radios and one 2.4Ghz radio. You want a dual band ac or n adapter (5Ghz and 2.4Ghz).The reason it is advertised as triband is because, it balances the load on the 5Ghz band between the two 5Ghz radios. If you have a mix of 5Ghz n and ac devices, the router will separate them on to different radios so the "n" devices don't slow down the "ac" devices, for all this to happen make sure "Smart Connect" is enabled. If smart connect is disabled you can still do the same thing manually.

I unfortunately had to return them, they simply did not work. From NewEgg I got ASUS PCE-N15 Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g/n PCI Express 300/300Mbps Transfer/Receive Rate 64-bit WEP, 128-bit WEP, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK, WPS support instead and they worked right away, and not much more expensive. Hope this helps.

I have the same problem even though I used the 5 GHz band. I ended up using a wireless bridge for all of my entertainment center components. Now I have no problems!

ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-half-WiFi-Link-Ultimate-N-6300-pci-card-633ANHMW-/250729311691 showed your system as compatible, I looked at Intel but didn't have much luck... FYI, the card has three antenna leads, the card I replaced only used two of my laptops three, and I wasn't successful getting the third lead attached -- will eventually attempt. Running with two leads didn't improve the performance (download/upload speed I'm paying for) so as my router is three feet away, using Ethernet.

I have a dual band router, and the speaker will only recognize the 2.4 Ghz band. But for streaming music the 2.4 Ghz band is more than adequate, so this hasn't been an issue for me.

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

your processor speed has nothing to do with wireless radio signal frequency. you would need to check your computer's wifi radio transmitter or "wifi band protocol" that is operates on such as the older "a/b/g/n". the 5ghz wifi radio protocol is what this router uses for the newer "ac" (wave of the future) band protocol. details about the abilities of these different letter bands can be found in a google search of on CNET.com. Unless you have some supe'd up computer or wireless device, not a lot of devices are capable yet of using the AC protocol and will likely communicate with this router using the current "n" or older "g" band protocols.

I could not set up a 5ghz network with the latest airport utility for windows, it only has options for 2.4ghz. Called Apple support an they confirmed that you cannot setup a 5ghz network with version 5.x of the Airport utility and version 6.x is not available for windows.

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 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.

Hello,well, the maximum bandwith provided by the PCI-E x16 gen 1.0 standard port; it is greater than the PCI-E x1 gen 1.0, and not having now many specifications on these standards on Wikipedia.org I have found about that for x1 slot the bandwith is 2.5 GB/s (250 MB/s) and for x16 slot it is 8 GB/s (? MB/s). I hope this is enough. Greetings,Massimo.

Yes in a way!! I have a basic package from my ISP. Only 6 MG. When I use the N900 I use it on a dual band setting. Putting out both 2.4GHZ and the 5GHZ. Some of the newer devices samsung Gal II for example can pick up the 5GHZ signal and my laptop can get about 4 bars in Win8.1. I didn't expect that speed. But it is only when I am up close about 0 to 20 feet away. But if I go outside in the yard then I loose bars on the Laptop but the Samsung Gal III comes in as soon as I hit the driveway, about 40 feet away. So it really depends on the newnest of the devices you use. As far as the Game consoles it adequate but that is not the fault of the N900 but the basic speed package I have. Trust me when I say this, the N900 is a great choice for a medium size household with slow speed. I can not attest to high speed broadband yet.
