Does the Officejet Pro 8710 WiFi support 5GHz networks?

Hi all. I can't find out pre-purchase whether the 8710 supports 5GHz networks. Does anyone know?

Hi:

According to the specs page below, it does not.

Next to the Connectivity, standard specification are the available connections...1 USB 2.0; 1 Host USB; 1 Ethernet; 1 Wireless 802.11 b/g/n; 2 RJ-11 modem ports.

Any time you see a wireless specification of 802.11 b/g/n, whether it be for a notebook, tablet, printer or desktop PC, that means the wireless only works on the 2.4 GHz wireless band.

Dual band (2.4 GHz/5.0 Ghz) wireless N network adapters have suffixes that end in a/b/g/n or a/g/n.
