- trasz 5y agoI'm not sure I've ever seen a 80211n device that _didn't_ support 5GHz.
- salamandersauce 5y agoA lot of low end consumer devices don't. For example the PS Vita supports N but not 5GHz, nor do most kindles until the latest Paperwhite. It was also super common for cheap $400 laptops in 2011 to have N but not 5Ghz support.
- Klonoar 5y agoI believe Nintendo didn’t support it until the Switch, surprisingly - the WiiU was 2.4 only.
- salamandersauce 5y agoNot for the internet but Wii U uses 5GHz for streaming to the gamepad.
- Klonoar 5y agoGuess that explains the poor range issue people cited back in its heydey.
