Dual Band Wi-Fi- Article no. 3786
Resolution Steps
In Wi-Fi networking, dual band is capable of transmitting in either 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz links
- By supplying separate network bandwidth for each of the two types of links, this service can provides maximum flexibility in setting up a home network
- This feature enables customers to split usage between two access points, allowing for a better wireless experience
Our Company supports
- Setting up both bands as separate networks
- On many devices this could cause the same router to show 2, or even 3 wireless presences depending upon the SSID's customer decides upon and if they set up guest access
- If the customer cannot see one of the SSID's it is possible they do not have a wireless device which supports dual band Wi-Fi
The biggest difference between 2.4 and 5.0 are range and speed (aka coverage and speed)
- 2.4 GHz has a longer range but communicates data at slower speeds
- 5 GHz has a lower range but communicates data at faster speeds
- Range is lower for the 5 GHz because higher frequencies have a difficult time passing through solid objects
- Higher frequencies allow data to be transmitted even faster than lower frequencies
