    I've been searching online but can't tell what's right and wrong. The wireless card I have now is a Atheros AR5B93. Opinions are varied about whether this card is compatible with the 5.0 ghz frequency. I was wondering is anyone could help me find a wireless card that can connect to the 5.0 ghz frequency. Thanks in advance

    It's a 2.4GHz only card. If you want dual-band go for Intel 6200.
