MacBook Pro not on 5GHz Wireless Network #30080 05/16/14 12:59 PM

OP slolerner Joined: Aug 2009 New York City	I bought a dual band router and even though my other devices are connecting via 5GHZ, my MacBook Pro will only connect on the 2.4GHz bandwidth. Am I doing the settings wrong or is there something I can replace, like the internal Airport card? See specs below. Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13" 2.4GHz, 750GB SATA HD, 8 GB RAM, OS 10.7.5 1 HDX1500 2TB Ext.HD, 2 HDX1500 1TB Ext.HD HP Laserjet 6MP printing postscript via 10/100 Intel print server Netgear WN2500RP Range Extender (Ira rocks!)
