At my school I can connect to the 5Ghz range at 300Mbps. so you should see a lot better improvement. Since they both have 2.4 and 5Ghz Range that does me they have Dual band Routers. Most of the time my Network card will automatically connect to 5Ghz range. But there is a setting you can change in your network card that it will try to connect to a 5Ghz range. The way you do this is you go in to Device Manager. Then click on your network card and then Right Click and go down to properties. Click on the Advanced tab and in the Box below the word Property look for Preferred Band and click on it. In the Value Dropdown box Change it to 3. Prefer 5.2Ghz Band. Then click Ok. Do not worry about changing this setting for when you go home or only around a 2.4Ghz band. If your Network card can not connect to at 5Ghz it will automatically try the 2.4Ghz.
