heres a link to the owners manual. http://www.downloads.netgear.com/fil..._21Aug2014.pdf
Go to page 54 and follow the directions under "Specify Basic Wifi Settings." Mainly, what you need to do is --after logging in-- go to point 10 and change the the mode to "300 Mbps" (by default it is set set 145 Mbps).
The ac card is dual band so it works on 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz; A, B, and G (possibly N) use the 2.4 Ghz band and the AC and N use 5Ghz. It allows the card to be flexible and connect with any wireless access point.
oh, ok. didn't know the 2.4 and 5 were for wifi only. thanks. |
Yeah those are the frequencies that the wifi data is being transmitted. Hardwiring on that modem has a theoretical 1,000 Mbps data transmission (Gigabit).
