[QUOTE="Bennett Prescott, post: 42210, member: 4"] Re: Can tablet be upgraded to 5g? In my experience 802.11n in the 5gHz band is very fast, even though it's been out a few years. Using premium APs I can get 100+mb out of it within a reasonable distance, and if it needs to go through an exterior wall it is usually still faster than 802.11g. At my townhouse there is an enormous range advantage since the 2.4gHz spectrum is so crowded that it can get unreliable just a room or two away, whereas the only other 5gHz signal I can see is 40dB down from my signal in my living room. At my girlfriend's apartment in Boston you can see more than 20 other signals in the 2.4gHz spectrum, if her apartment weren't so small it would be almost unusable. There's still plenty of breathing room in the upper frequency band. [/QUOTE]
