Does my macbook support a 5GHz router?

[Shaunyac]

I have the ME294B/A RMBP, BT have just sent me a new 2.4/5GHz router also. I was wondering if my macbook supports the 5GHz spectrum and what if any are the benefits?

Thanks.

All Macbooks except for the CoreDuo ones which are model Macbook1,1 support 5Ghz networks.

What are the benefits of ac too? just longer range??

Faster speeds on the network. You won't get faster internet speeds but data transfer between devices on the LAN will be faster
