How well do these work on a 5GHz network?

Hey Ben...not to get too technical..but they seem to increase the signal in proportion to the 2.4 GHz..the operative word here is "proportionately"..I think you will be happy with the results and the price is right...check out the Asus routers..Net gear is nice..but Asus has the edge..and Asus support is second to none...good luck..Jim

They add more range to my network and better signal than the ones I got before...

its range is pretty typical. 2.4GHz band is good, 5GHz band is about half the signal, but its a much higher band, and used when there's more congestion or wifi devices. i would say its normal range.

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!

Yes. They will work. They are quadband and will work everywhere in the world.

Use channels 1, 6, or 12 to avoid overlap on the wireless-G 2.4 Ghz range. Most devices still don't utilize the wireless-a 5 GHz range. I am a network engineer BTW.

I'd say Yes. Probably only on the 2.4Ghz band. http://reviews.cnet.com/routers/trendnet-tew-812dru-ac1750/4505-3319_7-35566542.html isn't a bad review. Mine is fine but I only have 802.11n or better stuff in my house now...

It would work if the connectors match. But, this is for 2.4 Ghz and the 5Ghz band would have to be very close to 2x the frequency of 2.4 Ghz to work as a 1/2 dipole... I dont think they are...so it would work not as efficiently as the same antennas like this that are tuned to the 5ghz band...do a search for one, if you dont find it, I know they are very common and you can find with a google search if not here on the great Amazon site....remember to look close at the connections for the right match....and the male/female labels are deceptive as these connectors often look cross gendered... it is based on the smallest center connection if it inserts or receives.

I just found the 5GHz for the 1st time on my Samsung Galaxy S3...my 2 laptops don't see it either, but it doesn't matter, they work fine with the N600's 2.4...as we get newer stuff it will utilize the 5GHz...

These things are flaky. As far as wireless I could get 6-8 reliably. Anything more than that and it tends to lock up and die. I would look at anything but the rv series from Cisco.

I have used these to send a 5.0 ghz signal through out my entire house, but when I first bought it, I was unable to use just one. I have my first one wired off my Cisco router as an access point which sends the wireless signal to everywhere else in the house. I have cable internet and get over 50 mbps to every point in my house without any issues. I have the access point off my router and 5 receiving devices elsewhere in the house. It is absolutely the best. It's as good as wired connections in my book.

You can, but for best results if using on 2.4ghz you will need to set up each one on a dedicated non overlapping channel (ie: 1,6,11 ) signal bleed over interference is not a problem in 5ghz

Yes, they work for 2.4 and 5 GHZ. I am using with AC66U but it will work fine with newer model as well. In my configuration I have attached one in 90 degree angle and two 45 degree angle opposite of each other.Also to see benefits from this make sure you are using good antenna on receiver side as well, which is equally important for wireless.

Answers see to be conflicting - All our WiFi devices, 2 cell phones, 2 tablets, smart TV, and 2 laptops use 5Ghz. I have a high-end dual band router (ARRIS / Motorola Surfboard SBG6782-AC) and live in a home with lots of stucco walls/wire mesh = very poor wireless reception. I get about 5 Mbps WiFi outside the room where the router is located, but 125 Mbps with ethernet cable. Will this antenna boost the 5Ghz signal or just the 2.4Ghz? Thanks!

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.

They will only work line of sight. I only have experience up to 7 miles and they worked great. I think you could go 14 miles with them. You won't get 100 Mbps but you might get 5-10. Good luck.

You can look for information at linksys It says it does run 2.4Ghz and 5 Ghz..... go to the address for more information. http://www.linksys.com/en-apac/products/routers/E2500

You will want to make sure you get the 2.4Ghz version for AP use but yes they can function as APs. How long is your long range? You may want to look at some of Ubiquiti's other hardware and/or external antennas if you're trying to cover a large wide area.
