Are the nvidia drivers suppose to be working? If so, what is the secret? Also, I have a dualband router and I am not able to connect to my 5g network. Please advise.

wrong list, no informations
there are no nvidia drivers in Fedora they are in rpmfusion repos
without any information about your setup it's pointless for anybody trying to help you
* what Fedora version? * what exactly hardware you are using?

If they don't, my desktop's doing a good job of faking it. Of course, I'm not silly enough to download the binary blobs from the OEM and go through their insane installation procedure every time there's a kernel update. Go here, young man, and use the instructions for akmod-nvidia: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=204752

Your first question doesn't really have enough detail to know what you want. Fedora generally supports Nvidia devices via the generic Nouveau thingie that gets installed at install time.
If you're talking about the vendor provided drivers, there is a guide to installing the Nvidia-specific drivers at http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2013/fedora-18-nvidia-guide/
Can't address your second question, which also has so little detail as to be pretty much impossible to respond to.

You don't provide any info on what you have or did or want:
1. What fedora release? 2. What video card? lspci | grep VGA 3. Which nvidia drivers: nouveau (standard), kmod-nvidia/nvidia-x11-drv, installed from Nvidia tar ball? 4. What problem are you having?
In general, I'd answer: yes, they're working, and there's no secret.
Also, I have a dualband router and I am not able to connect to my 5g network. Please advise.
Again, no info: 1. What router? 2. What problem?

I am very sorry for the way I introduced my problem. Let me try to better inform you. I am running Fedora 19 Alpha release using a Geforce GTS450 and I was trying to use akmod-nvidia to install the nvidia drivers as I always do.It boots to a blank screen. I have done the rdblacklist=nouveau to no end.

Thank you, sir. I have tried that way and that is why I was asking the question.

Hmm; there is some useful info there, but looking in the rpmfusion free repo isn't likely to help. You need nonfree.

it is generally a bad idea to use ALPHA-releases if you rely on closed source drivers or buy hardware which needs closed source drivers if you want to use ALPHA-releases
