ealthuis, as per http://www.broadcom.com/products/Wireless-LAN/802.11
-Wireless-LAN-Solutions/BCM4313 it would appear your hardware is single-
band (2.4 GHz) only.

What one would need is a dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) product, for
example http://www.broadcom.com/products/Wireless-LAN/802.11-Wireless-
LAN-Solutions/BCM43224 .

Hence, this wouldn't be a limitation in Ubuntu (ex. linux kernel,
Broadcom driver, etc.), but that of the hardware capabilities.

Thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Please feel
free to report any future bugs you may find.

      Question #199715

  Asked by ealthuis on 2012-06-07

  I have a Dell laptop with the 1701 Dell Wifi card, also a router which provides Wifi at 2.4 GHz as well as at 5 GHz.
   The 2.4GHz wifi works just fine, but I cannot connect to the 5 GHz Wifi.

  Is there a driver that will correct that problem?
