n300 mini wifi adpter cant detect 5ghz wifi network
it sees and connects to the 2.4 ghz network but not the 5ghz. the router is broadcasting the network and my other "n" adapters can connect. this is in windows and linux.

the model number is WNA3100M. the box says b/g/n and 2.4ghz. i see no 5ghz. i thought "n" was always 5ghz ?

Guess not. The manual says nothing about 5 GHz:

The technology has moved on a lot in the five years since Netgear released that device.
Problem solved?
You can buy a 5GHz equivalent for next to nothing.
