I just upgraded to the Netgear WNDR3700 dual band router (2.4 & 5 Ghz): 1) it was really easy to install, 2) seems very fast, and 3) permits both hardwire and wireless access. Tired of paying Comcast rent on the older router ($5/month)

I've gone through all the manuals and checked the setting and both wireless outputs seem to be broadcasting, however none of my laptops nor Droid detects the 5Ghz band. The 2.4Ghz is all that is detected.

Is there some newer special devices needed to pickup 5Ghz signals?
