I have a Ubiquiti radio in the house and I think it's a 5.2 GHz. I did a scan to see if it could see my router's SSID but it could not. Could that be becaue my router may be a 2.4 GHz AP? Can one see the tother, does it matter?

Besides having compatible frequencies, they also need to support the same protocols, such as 802.11a (5.2GHz), 802.11n (both 2.4 and 5.2 GHz), 802.11b (2.4GHz), etc. Most 802.11n products also support a/b protocols. 802.11a-only devices don't support b/n protocols.

Assuming they support the same protocols will a 5.2 not even see a 2.4 and vise versa?
