I want to assemble a network with two bands, 5 and 2.4 GHz, at home. (Of course, someday, when the top five is allowed and all that. I won’t break the law.)

In this connection, I ask: does anyone know a dual-band router for which there is OpenWRT? And are there any dual-band mini-pci-e cards. Very much I am tempted by 350 Mbit of the channel and an empty spectrum.

UPD : As a router, I tend to Netgear WNDR3700, they love it on #openwrt too. But I don't know what to do with the cards yet.

Yes, Intel has a cloud of 5GHz miniPCI-E
from the latest - the 5100, 5300, 6200, 6300 series
have both full-size and half-size (there are even more choices)
go for it!

Isn't 5GHz already allowed?

I find it difficult to understand something...

It is worth paying attention to 3800. I took it for myself - I am quite satisfied. True, while I'm sitting on the standard firmware, tk. the maximum that is now is the OpenWRT beta. I must say that even on standard firmware, IPTV multicast over WiFi is excellent, with UDP-> HTTP it will be generally wonderful.
I took this model specifically because of the dual-range. Works great with intel 3965ABG. One of these days I will order 5300 and everything will fly at 300 megabits.
If you choose from the 5100, 5300, 6200, 6300 series, then you should pay attention to the 5300 or 6300 because of the antenna configuration (3x3). Now 5300 complete with antennas can be found for 20-25 bucks.
