I don't think it'll create a 5GHz by itself, could be wrong though. I installed the WN2500 without much trouble and it's working fine. My main router is a WNDR 3700 and about the only real problem I had was trying to figure out which MAC addresses to use. There seems to be several MAC addresses on the extender labels. About the only thing that does not seem to work is using the browser address suggested, http://mywifiext.net (or .com as someone suggested in another post) but using the IP address 192.168.1.2 works fine for me.
