Solved by Donut417,
You need to look for a dual band card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704133. Thats a link to the card I have. It supports both 2.4 and 5Ghz bands. Under the protocol section is just telling you the standards the card supports. For example the card I linked it only capable of Wireless N speeds. For dual band cards you will see both 2.4 and 5Ghz networks that are available.
802.11 A was 5Ghz only
802.11 B and G were 2.4Ghz only
802.11 N uses both 2.4 and 5 Ghz, however not all routers support 5Ghz
802.11 AC Dual band was required on all devices according to the standard I believe.
