Re: And.... Yep, because 5GHz equipment on the AP side is still expensive, and has shorter range. |

kudos:20 | No it's not. The TP-Link TL-WDR3500 is a simultaneous dual-band router (so it can do 2.4 and 5 at the same time), and costs $50 at retail... I'm sure there are cheaper examples too.
To put this in context, my WRT54GL cost more than that.

EARTH | AC only runs in the 5ghz band... a lot of AC routers also support 2.4ghz N. However, it remains to be seen how much AC catches on. |

Where is it sold, retail? Remember that the great unwashed masses don't all shop on Newegg, or shop for routers on Amazon. |

EARTH | Good routers are a lot more than $50 nowadays, like the ASUS RT-N66U Dark Knight with N900. |
