I'm fairly unfamliar with the technology surrounding wireless networking and what not, but I recently upgraded my router to a wirless N ( linksys e2000 i believe) and I purchased a new wireless card not noticing that it doesnt operate at 5ghz but rather only at 2.4ghz. I tried looking on new egg and there seemed to only be 1 or 2 cards they sell that do operate at 5ghz. Is the technology not optimal at 5 ghz? I was going to return the card I ordered but I am not sure if I am just missing something. I know on my current card that I had for the G router, my speed is capped at 54 mbps and when I tried to new card that I am considering returning, it did go up to 65 mbps even on at 2.4ghz, bu the connection did seem to be less stable (a lot more lag spikes). Can anyone give me any feedback on this issue? Is there a better place to look for 5 ghz cards? Should I even bother?
