does the dragonbox wifi stick support 5ghz?

[alavaliant]

I'm considering getting the wifi stick in the dragonbox shop (https://www.dragonbox.de/en/accessories/35-caanoo-wifi-dongle-schwarz-1.html) but I only want it if it supports the 5ghz band as well as the 2.4ghz one.     Can anybody with one confirm if you can connect to an access point running in 5ghz only mode via it?

Nope it doesn't. Can only see the 2.4GHZ network at my place

Thanks for confirming that the dragonbox done doesn't do what I need. I don't suppose anybody knows of a 5ghz compatible usb wifi stick that already has drivers included in the base image?
