Bruce, Actiontec's widi boxes can use 2.4 or 5. If you have a single band wifi NIC then it will piggy back on whatever you are currently connected as, 2.4 or 5. If you have a dual band card, then it can use the 2nd band for widi only. Works pretty darn good. Most of our teachers only use the widi now even though they have the option to hardwire via VGA or HDMI.
