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?
Not all adaptors are compatable with 5ghz freq. Its the adaptor that needs to be N capable. however because you broadcast duel band your g adaptors will work at the 2.4ghz or 54 vs the 108

What made you settle on Netgear router anyways?
