5GHz WiFi - anyone using it?

[wolvers]

Just looking at getting a new router, current one has started crashing etc, and was wondering if anyone here is using 5GHz WiFi and what their thoughts are on it?

It doesn't appear to be any faster but possibly a longer range (although not by much) and more reliable due to less interference from lots of other WiFi signals (most will be 2.4GHz)?

Thanks for the replies.

Every review of 5ghz stuff I've seen so far, bar one, has had results showing that it's only better over greater distances when it's got line of sight, and the speed increase is quite small (5%ish).

Anyway, I've picked up a router that does 2.4GHz and 5GHz simultaneously so I'm well future proofed.
