joeydrunk Posted February 3, 2011 CID Share Posted February 3, 2011 I switched my router to 5ghz trying to make things faster and it only works on N and A,no B or G. So hardly anything works, even though I though most of my stuff was N. Does 5ghz only work on N and A or is just my router? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriRan Posted February 3, 2011 CID Share Posted February 3, 2011 5GHz is mostly LOS (Line of sight) it has a much much shorter range then 2.4GHz heres a nice post about wireless N Networking and the 5GHz / 2.4GHz differences/usages http://www.zdnet.com/blog/networking/four-ways-to-get-the-most-from-your-80211n-wi-fi/122 also wireless N can still be very fast on the 2.4GHz band you just need to have the settings right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
