What is Dual Band Wireless Networking?
Dual Band Routers
Unlike ordinary routers that only support one wireless signal band, dual-band routers contain two different types of wireless radios. When first introduced many years ago, dual-band routers supported both 802.11a and 802.11b and were designed for business networks that used a mix of both types of Wi-Fi clients.
Some newer 802.11n Wi-Fi routers also allowsimultaneous dual band communication with both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz clients.
