I guess you'll also need a new specific 5Ghz USB hardware wifi dongle to transmit. I wonder how much they will be?
I think most modern WLAN dongles already support 5Ghz, at least mine does. It came with my router (Fritz!Box 7390, available since 2010) and only costs 30 for the stick itself.
The drclib website states this about the dongles:
Required hardware
Connecting a Wii U GamePad to a computer requires compatible Wi-Fi hardware. Any Wi-Fi NIC that can create access points on 5GHz 802.11 channels could potentially work. In practice, the following drivers/NICs were tested:
- rt2800usb: works with Linux >= 3.11
- ath9k/carl9170: works with some caveats (communication might desync more often because of a TSF drifting issue)
I'm guessing this would be a good basis for what would be required in the future.
