Will new radios fg02 improve my 5Ghz WiFi signal

[JQuock]

Hu guys, just flashed these radios and I'm running JRO03L rom from mmuzzy. I was hoping my 5Ghz WiFi would improve but doesn't look like it. I have noticed my battery is draining faster though. How do I get a better 5Ghz WiFi signal? It always has been pretty weak even on ICS. Thanks!

The higher the frequency of a wireless signal, the shorter its range. Thus, 2.4 GHz networks cover a substantially larger range than 5 GHz wireless networks. In particular, the higher frequency wireless signals of 5 GHz networks do not penetrate solid objects nearly as well as do 2.4 GHz signals, limiting their reach inside homes.

Some people mistakenly believe 5 GHz network technology is newer or somehow more innovative than 2.4 GHz. In fact, both types of signaling have existed for many years and are both proven technologies.
802.11g Wi-Fi products that run at 2.4 GHz tend to cost less than 802.11a Wi-Fi products not because 802.11g is obsolete or less capable, but because 802.11g is much more popular and thus economical for manufacturers to support.

Is 5 GHz Wi-Fi Wireless Computer Hardware Better than 2.4 GHz?
