Help, assignment.

[Sir Asvald]

I'm currently doing my assignment, I would like to know what is the distance of 5ghz wireless? before you cannot connect to it no more. 

 

Thanks.

Depends on the piece of technology, some range from 1m-20m? In what instance tho.

depends on the response of your aerials and how much power you want to broadcast with. 5Ghz isn't a complete standard like bluetooth is.

There are too many variables with that question. Can you clarify the environment and hardware?

The only real answer I can give you is that a signal broadcast on 5 Ghz will have less range than a comparable signal on the 2.4 Ghz band. What it will do better though is penetrate objects better between the sending unit, and the reciever with less signal degradation.

There is still too many variables, like AP and wifi card, placement of the AP, and density/construction of the the walls(and amount of walls in the way). In general though it will have shorter range and poorer wall penetration than 2.4Ghz, but it won't be on a crowded frequency like 2.4Ghz(for now). There really isn't an exact answer sadly.
