Post by: optikon1 on October 11, 2009, 02:52:19 PM

How do I enable 5ghz connectiosn through this router.I have 2 DWA-140s and neither of them is functioning at 5ghz that I can see.At least the DIR says no Clients are connected at 5ghz and all clients are connectied at 2.4ghz.Do I need to change something in my Router settings?Its currently setup to run in Both 2.4 and 5ghz.

The Dlink website indicates that DWA-140 adapters are only single band at 2.4 ghz.  They will operate at wireless N speed using that band, but they will not operate in the 5 ghz band.  That is why they only connect at 2.4 ghz.

The DWA-160s are 5Ghz aware.

You should note that the range of the 5Ghz is a lot smaller than the 2.4Ghz one.
