| Another router question. If I use a dual band 2.4K / 5K router bridged from my Actiontec Lan - Lan configuration, is there any specific requirement for a network "card" to be able to use 5K band, or will all 802.11 g + n cards work fine on the 5K band?

kudos:2 | The card/chip must be 5ghz compatible, not all are -- particularly in some phones and tablets. |

| Is there a method to tell if the network adapter in my HP laptop is 5K compatible?

What does the laptop have? You can check it by right-clicking My Computer, clicking properties, clicking Device Manager, and expanding the Network adapters tree when Device Manager opens. |
