About a year ago I bought a simultaneous dual band wireless router. I
bought a Linksys610N model. I wanted the two bands so streaming video
around the house would not slow down Internet browsing on my laptop. The
higher 5 GHz range shows up as a separate SSID on devices that have 802.11N
wireless capability. Currently, we only have a DVR and a Roku box using the
higher band. The bottleneck in our home network is the DSL line. Still, it
is amazing the performance we get and the number of video streams and
browsing that can all go on at the same time with just DSL download speeds.
The router even has a USB port which can be used as a Network Attached
Storrage (NAS) device by connecting an external drive. I may try that out
to use as an FTP server for my daughter at College.

The first thing you must figure out is do you in fact own A dual-band
router? Personally mine is not such an animal.

How is this done with the rouders?
I do a lot of downloading and it is slow as a turtle, How does one put
one computer on one frequency and the other on another one.
We have two computers running wireless. a laptop and a desk top.

The Power Of Dual-Band
. A dual-band router creates two 802.11n wireless networks, one in the
2.4GHz band and one in the 5GHz band. You can
configure each one with different passwords and security credentials.
. Because the 5GHz frequency will be relatively free of interference, it
will provide faster Wi-Fi speeds. Thus, you should
connect to it for streaming video or audio, downloading music, playing
online games, copying files over your Wi-Fi network,
or other tasks that require a speedy connection.
. Connect to the 2.4GHz network when you're checking email or browsing
the Web. If there are multiple computers on your home
network, the 2.4GHz frequency may seem faster than it used to, because
you aren't sharing the connection with another
computer that's downloading files or streaming video on the 5GHz
frequency.
