HI All-
I am a complete network idiot. Please forgive me, I tried some searches to solve this and I can't follow all of the tech talk. We have one of these routers, and I would like to get the 5 Ghz network working. I'm assuming that it will work faster, maybe I'm wrong. A speed test actually looks the same connected via wireless or ethernet. I have a new Dell laptop, and it is taking FOREVER for the first Carbonite backup. I'm hoping a faster network will help. I haven't even upgraded the firmware, and am afraid to after reading about some of the firmware problems. Should I not even bother, or is it simple to set up? I've got different SSID's, but I never see the 5 Ghz one in my available networks.
Thanks
Laura
