5GHZ wifi at campgrounds
I have read about the advantages of 5GHZ WIFI. Also have read that it does not penetrate walls, etc. very well. Are folks encountering enough campgrounds with 5GHZ systems to make it worth buying a WI...

Because of the distance limitations you're not likely to find a lot of campgrounds using it. If they are, it's probably more trouble than it's worth. I have some outdoor access points on my property used for wireless surveillance cameras. One of them kept dropping so I contacted the manufacturer. It turns out it was on the edge of the 5 Ghz range and would drop when it tried to switch over from 2.5 Ghz. I disabled 5 Ghz on the AP and it's rock solid now. Personally I wouldn't go through the trouble of getting a 5 Ghz adapter if you already have 2.5. You're not going to have a noticeable improvement in bandwidth.
