Does this work for wireless 5 GHz networks? not using 2.4 at all so i need to know

I am not sure, I tested this wireless camera using my laptop samsung through "DHXB-81" wireless card. I don't know the specification of this card.

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

It could totally work with 5G, aka 802.1 ac. It works very well with my R7000. However, there are moments that dropped to 2.4G and cannot switch back to 5G. But consider the price, compare to other competitors, is fine that it has a small glitch.

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).

This part definitely supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz; I'm currently using it at 5GHz. But I think I'm using 802.11n; max throughput is around 240-270 Mb/s (using Linux Mint 16 and an Intel wifi PCIe card). So I can't say about 802.11ac.

John, not sure if it works well at 5ghz I can tell you that I noticed a reduced speed when using it to extend the range of my dlink router.

Either check your mSATA slot to see what's compatible with it (better) or check the list of compatible devices for IEEE 6230 802.11n and see if yours is listed?Mine is ASUS NS53SV and it works fine with it. The previous one didn't do Bluetooth and 5 GHz band which was the reason for replacement.

Yes, it supports 2.4GHz (b, g, n) and 5GHz (a, ac, n).All legacy b devices will work.

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.

If it support 2.6GHz only, it is not true 802.11N. Not to be a purist, but the reason for using N is to utilize the far less polluted 5GHz frequency range. One of my Foscam FI9805W cameras worked fine when located very close (within 15') of the router. When moved to a new area, it would disconnect due to being in range of more than 10 2.6GHz 802.11G networks. The only way to solve this was to connect it to a N 5GHz bridge.

I was concerned with that very issue but I changed to a dual band router and put the WiFi dongle on the 5 network (subwoofer operates on the 2.4). Everything works great, however, after almost 3 hours on the phone with a friend in another city trying go get his WiFi BluRay player to stay connected, I had all but given up. Out of desperation I asked him the usual questions (Microwave, 2.4 phones, baby monitor) and he happened to mention this soundbar. After a few tests with reproducable failures, it appears that it CAN significantly interfere with 2.4 WiFi.

Yes, I had the same issue. I had to downgrade back to 2.0.1 in order to get it to integrate with my home wifi network. Plus, I had a router that ran 2.4 and 5ghz on the same SSID and I had to give them different names to get this device to work. It's a bit buggy

I'm using Maraki MR12 AP's which operate only in the 2.4 spectrum. It worked fine for the most part, but definitely consumed a good portion of the available bandwith on the when running at 4CIF @ 15fps. Pay attention to proximity to the AP and other apps running on the WLAN

You can use it for 2.1, No wireless or bluetooth capabilities either, you have to connect to a router with a ethernet cable or buy the bluetooth adapter.

Unfortunately there is no easy way to tell if this product will help you. It could. Moving your existing router around might also help, or replacing it with a newer model could improve the signal strength if the one you have is older. If distance is the issue or obstructions, then stick with 2.4GHz.

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 these antennas and cables will work with both the 2.4 and 5.xGhz frequencies with Wifi or Bluetooth. My apologies for the incorrect answer I just posted and deleted.

You should be able to see both the 2.4 and the 5 ghz WiFi channels on your phone; if you can't, then go into the WD dashboard using your PC and make sure that the 2.4 ghz channel is on and that you have set a password. The 2.4 ghz channel has much better range, so you will definitely want to synch to that one.
