Kinda same thing here. Actually, how can i Know my iPad is using 5ghz. I have a new router, it's a Zyxel EMG2926-Q10A Dual-Band Wireless AC/N Gigabit Ethernet Gateway rented by my ISP. Right now, there are two SSID. One for 2.4 and one for 5ghz. A small utility program called SpeedSmart gives the same numbers (34-35 mbps) on either SSID I connect the iPad to. By the way, how do you reset Internet settings on an iPad and on a router as said above? Maybe someone can guide me through the process of obtaining light speed mbps. Thanks a lot.
