I saw on some spec sheet for the 8x that it supported 5Ghz but haven't seen anything on the 920. I realize it is not as wide spread as the 2.4 but would like to be able to use my 5Ghz at home.
I read on a 900 forum they thought it would use more battery but since 5Ghz is mostly in home entertainment settings a charger would be around somewhere especially with a wireless charger.From what I read, it does support 802.11a.
I could be wrong, but doesn't using the 5GHz high band cause faster battery drain?

I'm using a Netgear dual-band range extender (2.4/5 Ghz) in the house. All devices with 802.11n, including L900, are supported. It works great with 5Ghz.I saw on some spec sheet for the 8x that it supported 5Ghz but haven't seen anything on the 920.

Well if you have a big house I can see why you would want to use the high band, but otherwise it seems pointless to me. I only use mine when I go outside or don't want my laptop to interfere with another 2.4ghz device.
My L900 wont connect to my 5Ghz on my Netgear router but will to the 2.4GhzI'm using a Netgear dual-band range extender (2.4/5 Ghz) in the house. All devices with 802.11n, including L900, are supported. It works great with 5Ghz.
As a network engineer that comment made me want to wince
I could go on about beamforming, channel bonding, etc, but take it from me - it is a lot faster, especially if you use 40Mhz channels..
to be fair, web browsing, you won't notice the difference, but large transfers are a lot quicker.
Enjoy it while it lasts, with 802.11ac on its way the 5Ghz spectrum will be getting a lot more crowded going forward, this is the best time to be using it in a city environment
