How do I use/utilize the 5ghz feature of this router?
« on: January 08, 2011, 09:37:58 PM »
Hi folks.  Not new to networking at all but I am new to the 5ghz option.  This offers better throughput from what I have read. 

What do I do to utilize this? 

Any drawbacks?

Does it work with g and n spec wireless adapters?

Thanks.

And you need to select the 5.0Ghz radio.  The default radio is the 2.4GHz radio.
