I'm looking to get a new wireless router to get rid of lag spikes and interferance. The 802.11n standard specifies operation in both the 5GHz and 2.4GHz band, but except for laptops, it seems like all the 802.11n equipment is 2.4GHz. Considering how poluted the 2.4GHz band is, I'd really prefer to use the 5GHz band. Anyone know of a reputable company making 5GHz wireless 802.11n equipment?
Is there even any appropriate 802.11n laptop gear? I have an Orinoco classic gold PC card for my laptop, but it only supports the b/g standards. I'd kill for a and n support.
Just stay clear of Linksys routers. They overheat very easily. I've heard many bad things about D-Link as well, but I have never had any problems with any of their products.

Yes, Intel makes a miniPCI a/b/g/n card for laptops.
I've never had problems with Linksys routers overheating, but D-Link makes the POS I'm aiming to replace.
I'm using a Linksys that I've had no problems with at all. Before this one, I was using a D-Link, and a D-Link before that, both of which I had problems with.
