Two different things. Yes, throughput is greater on 5GHz, but coverage area is greater on 2.4GHz operating at the same power.

you can say whatever you want but the fact of the matter is my 5g range is now covering with full bars the same area only the 2.4 was doing before.

i'm sure there's other magic in that new asus router but based on the reviews i've read on the web, particularly smallnetbuilder, the consensus is the new 5ghz changes that were integrated into the hardware made this possible.

just repeating what people i assume that are smarter than me said and expressing my real world experience.
