Does the TRENDnet TEW-687GA 450Mbps Wireless N Adapter only support 2.4 GHz?

I read the resent TRENDnet TEW-687GA article and planned to use this bridge with my Cisco E4200. One limitation on the E4200 is it only support 450 Mbps, tri-stream on the 5 GHz band.

Given everything I've read including the TRENDnet website, it sure appears the TEW-687GA only supports 2.4 GHz:

While the 450Mbps Dual Band Wireless N USB Adapter TEW-684UB
supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands:

And the 450Mbps Dual Band Wireless N HD Media Bridge TEW-680MB
supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands:

Each product appears to use the same Realtek RTL8211CL which means each should be able to support both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

You are correct. 687 only supports 2.4GHz but 680mb supports both 2.4 & 5 GHz.
