I purchased this product, but it doesn't show me 5ghz networks on my Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga13.

From the Lenovo site: "I sent a quick note off to our engineering team and received confirmation that we support the 2.4Ghz band, but not 5Ghz on Yoga." So, there's your answer.

This is actually a great item. After installation, you have the choice of 2.4gh or 5gh. Let it sign into 2.4gh and after it connects, click on the bars at the bottom of the screen. It should give you the option to connect to connect to 5gh.Hope this helps.

I use this on a laptop with a dual band Asus router. I have the same result as you, I see the 2.4GHz but not the 5GHZ. Seems rediculous that Asus reciever can not see Asus dual band router. On other hand it locks on to the 2.4GHz signal very well and so I am happy enough. Guess if can not detect 5Ghz from Asus router than this is not such a great product.

I didn't find any specific info except that your machine uses an Intel Wifi card, but not sure which model. It would not need a different antenna for 5 Ghz and as long as your Lenovo has no whitelist in the BIOS specifically against this card it should work. Try and google your model Lenovo with this Intel and see if anyone else has tried it. Good luck.

for asus n66r, works on 2.4 band the most. Does not do much for 5 Ghz but it did not hurt.

from everything i'm reading it does not have 5ghz support, but i'm curious if anyone has upgraded the wireless card to dual band using hardware such as the intel 6235 card. if so, i'm wondering if the a new antenna needs to be run up the side of the screen or if it is simple plug and play (i.e. replace old card, pop in new card).

I had issues only the first time i connected, but the i used the troubleshooting connection tool (right click on the wifi connection and it will come up). Not anymore after that.but you can try to reinstall the wifi driver from Lenovo's website. hope this helps.

mine was slow, wi-fi or not. Support is HORRIBLE. WORSE I HAVE EVER SEEN. I returned the laptop because one of the keys didn't work, then they refused to fully refund because one of the keys didn't work. under fraud investigation. Don't get LENOVO

I have the y500 and here is detailed info on the widi.http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-Z-and-P-series/Wireless-Display-WIDI-issue-on-ideapad-Y500/td-p/951887

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.

Yeah... ish. I have it in my router right now and it works great in the 2.4ghz band. Im working on getting the 5ghz band up and running but I seem to be running into country code problems or it might be possible that this card doesn't support AP mode in 5Ghz mode but Im hoping for the former :) kernel 3.13.EDIT. Talked to a intel kernel dev. 5ghz is disabled for regulatory reasons.

Either check your mSATA slot to see what's compatible with it (better) or check the list of compatible devices for IEEE 6230 802.11n and see if yours is listed? Mine is ASUS NS53SV and it works fine with it. The previous one didn't do Bluetooth and 5 GHz band which was the reason for replacement.

According to this it will work with your laptop: http://ultrabooknews.com/2012/08/08/lenovo-ideapad-u310u410-wifi-issues/ & to answer your second question: yes. http://communities.intel.com/thread/27117

Mine shipped with an older power management software.. I updated it to the latest from Lenovos website and everything works fine now.

Do not know yet not I have received the product yet. but I guess if it's because it has a range of 50km but only finciona 5GHz frequency.

I have the same problem even though I used the 5 GHz band. I ended up using a wireless bridge for all of my entertainment center components. Now I have no problems!

Try the ethernet with any laptop, if it works then it should give you the wifi with this device ;p

Perhaps you could look up the type of laptop that you have, to see exactly according to the manufacturer which type of port you have. Hope this helps.
