• No, KC. You can only connect devices that support 5 GHz connection to the 5 GHz network.

• Since this extender is a cross band,meaning it has 2.4 and 5 GHz, it should work.

• That’s apples and oranges in terms of radio frequency. 2.4 can only handle 2.4 Ghz. 5Ghz can only handle 5Ghz. 60Ghz can only handle very expensive equipment you don’t even want to know about. If you get a “Tri-Band” router, there are three frequencies being beamed out: 2.4, 5-1, and a 5-2.

• You cannot connect a 2.4Ghz printer to the 5 GHz network. The printer doesn't have the correct antenna for that. This does have a 2.4GHz network too so you can still connect to it but it won't be on the 5GHz network.
