I noticed on the website and Amazon that the Antenna is listed to work in the 2.4 to 5 MHz band. Does Asus even understand radio frequencies?

Not sure what the question is. Listed as 2.4ghz and 5ghz band. Anyway I'm pleased with my improved reception. Had a problem with router being at one end of house and signal traveling 70 feet through several sheetrock walls and a brick wall. Now my man cave that is enclosed in sheetrock and brick gets good wifi signals.

It's just a mistype. It is designed for and works in the 2.4 and 5 GHz ranges like normal.

Yes it will, using Asus' Universal Repeater mode, but only on the 2.4GHz band.

I have this antenna and have no issues. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002L0BXIK/ref=mp_s_a_1_22?qid=1387051368&sr;=8-22π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70. You will need one that will do multi freq.

You can get by with using the 0 and 1 antenna leaving the 2 open or you could order a 3rd antenna and put it in where ever you can I stuck one in the base under the keyboard. I never used mine with just 2 but honestly I'm done with Intel wireless cards both of the ones I bought had issues. I would go for a atheros one instead.

No. If you took the case apart, you might be able to add a connector(s) yourself? Honestly, range is not an issue. This unit has better range than the Asus it replaced that had 3 external antennas.

It operates at 5 ghz, but I saw no appreciable increase in performance on that frequency, though it was also not degraded, compared to the stock antennae on an ASUS AC66u

Yes it does.*Operating Bands◦X-band: 10.525 GHz ± 25 MHz◦K-band: 24.150 GHz ± 100 MHz◦Ka-band: 34.700 GHz ± 1300 MHz◦Ku-band: 13.400 GHz ± 25 MHz◦Laser: 904nm, 33MHz bandwidth

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!

Had same concern, my order went through as a 2.4 Ghz unit. You might want to contact seller to be 100% sure.

I paired this with an ASUS RT-N66U and used it as an Ethernet Adapter - this is its default mode. It detected the 5 GHz band as the having the best signal strength. I had quite a time getting this device to function properly. The instructions are quite lacking.

It is indeed 2.4 GHz. I bought one for my better half in August of 2013. Her only real issue was an initial delay while attempting to connect with our wireless. A little internet research solved the problem. I wish I could remember so I could tell you what the solution was. I *think* it had something to do with having drivers from two different vendors and eliminating one, maybe having to choose between Acer's vs the one from the wireless adapter's manufacturer. Sorry I can't recollect the correct solution. But again, to answer your question, 2.4 GHz is correct.

I own the ASUS RT-AC66U wireless router that it works fine with. Since my router is dual signal I really don't know if it is working on the 2.4 or 5 Ghz. I would assume it would work since it is a dual band adapter.

I'm also using win7x64. Broadcom driver version 6.32.223.1 dated 8/22/2013, which is the version available from asus's website. I have had no problems on the 2.4GHz band. One potential difference is that I did not install Turbo LAN. I'm not sure if it even does anything for wireless connections, but in my experience added software can sometimes cause problems.

Over the past several years I find that the antenna is not the problem, but the repeater or usb adapter that has a poor signal. I am sending signals over 1/2 mile in a mobile home court (we have a lot of signal reflection/bounce) without too many problems. We are using a ASUS rt-n66u and Hawling HW3R1 repeaters or an usb adapter made by Sabrent or alpha. We have a response by the user of 3 - 5 seconds

I've seen this exact model on other sites and the specs are definitely 2.4GHz. Unless this setup was custom built for Amazon, it is a misprint.

Different antennas have different freq. spectrum. You should be able to buy an adapter. Anything else would be stealing Satellite time.

No, I had to purchase an extra antennae because my laptop only came with 2. It is the tyco brand. But even with two antennae connected, it still works fine. I think the third antennae is for 5ghz channels only
