Forgot to mention, there may be less interference at 5 GHz, permitting greater range. Well, I only need a metre or so :-)
In fact, I tried to setup a bluetooth connection, but failed. I don't know how it is supposed to go, so I don't know exactly what step went wrong.
For such a short distance, 5 GHz is more than good enough. No idea about your bluetooth issues though, unless it's one of those Spain things. ;-)
I just tested tethering to my phone on 5 GH, and it worked. In fact, in 15.0 the network manager thing detects automatically the band, so I do not need to change the config. :-) It reported the bandwidth as 79 MB. Not bad if true. I did not try a download for speed. (it reports the house connection as 150 MB, at a metre from the AP) However, I have to find out if my tablet can connect at 5 GHz. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
