Can I connect this TV to the internet using the 5GHz band on a dual band router (it has 2.4GHz &amp; 5GHz)?

Yes! I do it all the time with Netflix and Dishanywhere. Works perfect and may take time to find the internet connection setup. I use the Asus RT-N66R Router.

This laptop has an 802.11n wireless card, so it will connect at 2.4ghz. Since the router is dual band, however, it should work just fine.

I have a dual-band router... the Asus "Dark Knight" router (a VERY nice router). It has both 5.0 and 2.4 bands on "n" wireless. My BD device only sees the 2.4 band. In fact, I only have a couple of devices which can see my "5.0" channel. In those cases, I always connect them to the 5.0 band, because it's so seldom used otherwise.

Oh sure. You have the ability to use WiFi or actually what works the best is running a CAT5 or CAT6 networking line to the TV. The reason why I mention the networking line is that if your WiFi is not beefy enough to handle your requests (i.e. streaming, gaming, etc from multiple sources)... putting more stress on your WiFi bandwidth may not make too much sense... thus a physical network line to the TV is possible too.

Devices that support dual band will be able to use the 5Ghz range. Not all do, so you have to make a decision based on what type of devices you'll be using with it.

Wireless networks up to 2.4 Ghz... 802.11 b,g,n ok. Not compatible with 5Ghz networks.

I tried it but it didn't work. I bought a cable which connected the router to the TV perfectly.

Really depends on your Internet setup. I assume you have the most basic high speed connection. This won't work with dial-up. Well, it might, but it would be too slow. So, if your internet modem (DSL or Cable) does not have multiple internet connections, you'll need to get a router. You can get a wireless router that has both wired and wireless options but this Blu Ray is only set for wired. So I suggest running a running an Internet cable (Cat5 or 5e or 6 is there "normal" name) from your router/modem to the TV. If it's not close, well that sucks. I had to run mine through the basment floor, along some ducts and up close to the TV/player. It works great. You can buy wireless accessories/bridge to make it work but that's quite a bit of $$$ to get good speed.

Asus Antenna freq 2.4 GHz can be use on Verizon's router, all router use 2.4 GHz freq and for more expensive model they use dual band 2.4 GHz + 5Ghz. So please check with Verizon is your router single or dual band, if dual band please take note the Asus antenna may affect the 5 GHz performance.

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.

I use it with my Roku 2 XS but am going to get a 5ghz version, we have over 20 routers on 2.4ghz in our neighborhood.

Yes, you can. The tv comes with two connections for the Internet, Wi-Fi and Ethernet. Also, the menu it's really easy to use and navigate through.

It can interfere with other devices on the 2.4 ghz range. Make sure your wireless router is not in the same room as the device as it'll certainly cause issues. Dual-band routers that utilize the 5.0 ghz range won't have the same issue.

No. The SR20000 will only repeat the 2.4 signal. If your network only has a 2.4GHz signal to repeat, the 5.0Ghz will also repeat the same 2.4Ghz signal from your router.

I purchased the Cisco Linksys WET610N with has a 5.0ghz channel as well as the 2.4. So far it works perfectly and using the CD was a snap to set up.Linda

As far as I know, no. I just looked through the firmware and I don't see any options for 5 GHz.
