X200 @Wifi-N 5G channel

[ahllau]

Any body had experience on running X200 on 5G Wifi Channel?

My new Asus R56U is a dual band router, my X200 can detect & connect both 2.4G & 5G channel, but only 2.4G is usable. For 5G channel even I can successfully connected, the web connection is very poor and no more than 2 page can be shown before disconnected.

But my Macbook Pro can use 5G channel without any problem.

I want to identify is it a router problem or my X200's wifi problem.

What type of WLAN card do you have?

My X200 with the Intel 5100 card connects just fine with 5Ghz wifi. Better, actually, than the 2.4Ghz--but that's probably because there are a dozen-odd 2.4Ghz wifi access points around my apartment, and no other 5Ghz routers.

If you can connect just fine with 2.4Ghz, then I'd say go with that. I probably wouldn't take my own advice, though, because I like to fix things that aren't working as they should be.

What problem do you have after loading a few pages? Does it disconnect with a warning, or does it just stall and time out? With things like this, you can never provide too much information.

Cheers!

5ghz does not penetrate walls well.
anything else is a driver issue as my X200 with 5300 performed flawlessly when i had it on 5ghz bands
