If I plug this into my Toshiba Satellite C855-S5214, will it be able to locate and support the 5ghz wireless band of my dual band router?

Yes, you'll just have to turn off the on board wireless connection if your computer has one.

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.

As far as I know, yes. This antenna receives and transmits in the 5gHz band, whatever it's connected to... Anything beyond that is the job of the router it's plugged into.

This is a 5ghz dish so yes, it will work and directly connect/screw into the back. I would expect possible damage if radio allowed to run on b/g 2.4ghz for any length on time. a dedicated 5ghz radio would be a better choice. I use a Ubiquiti BulletM5-Ti, 5 GHz on my setup and have achieved 25mile link running default power.

Yeah... ish. I have it in my router right now and it works great in the 2.4ghz band. Im working on getting the 5ghz band up and running but I seem to be running into country code problems or it might be possible that this card doesn't support AP mode in 5Ghz mode but Im hoping for the former :) kernel 3.13.EDIT. Talked to a intel kernel dev. 5ghz is disabled for regulatory reasons.

The included CD has the drivers for XP-SP3. Use this and you should not have trouble. My router is dual band too, but this device and adaptor only recognize the 2.4ghz. Also, make sure you have disabled any other wireless adaptors you have installed. I have a hardwired a/b/g adapter and had to disable the wifi adaptor. I did not have to uninstall the adaptor software I just made the D-link s/w the default. Hope this helps.

this depends on how you have it set up you can go to config on your adapter and choose ho to connect i have an ac router so i connect to the 5ghz network if your router has dual ssid one for 2.4 and one for 5 ghz connect to the 5 i recommend leaving set to auto which works great for me in case you happen to go somewher where only 2.4 is avialabe. hope this answers your question.

If your router supports only 802.11ac (5 GHz frequency) then it will not work. this antenna only works for 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHZ frequency). if your router has the option to change between either frequency then you can easily change over to the 2.4GHz frequency and use the outdoor antenna. Note also that you cannot connect to ac devices with a 5GHz frequencies if you are on a 2.4GHz frequency! Please see http://www.alfa.com.tw/products_list.php?pc=47&PageID;=2, to see operating frequency

Hi mamdouh. Since this is a dual band wireless adapter, the 2.4 GHz has a wider range than the 5GHz network. But, the adapter's speed itself is up to 867 Mbps on 5GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz frequency.

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.

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.

I'm sorry, but I don't know. It will access a 5ghz network. Dish should be able to answer this question.

Yes according to the installation guide here, check it out: http://www.2wire.com/pages/pdfs/802.11gPCCard.pdf

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.

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

no it wont. You need a wireless bridge for that. I recall TP link has such a device. I did not get it because it do not have 5GHz band

PC Processor speed will not affect your router, or it's ability to connect. As for using the 5 ghz band... yes you will need an adapter unless your PC wifi card supports 5ghz. Only the most recent laptops on the market have 5ghz capability.

Yes, but it lacks 5Ghz band, so don't expect any jump in speed. Single band only, or wide channels if your router allows it. (Many don't in crowded areas.)
