The Netgear router I bought last week, is dual-band, A/B/G has one network, N has the other. Either or both can be up at any given time, or both can be turned off - if no wireless devices are being used.

Even some of the dual band ones can only do one at a time. A quick way to tell if it is single band is if it says 802.11 b/g/n or 802.11 a/b/g/n. The single band ones do not have 802.11a since it is always at 5Ghz. Another thing to consider is whether or not they have 100Mbit or 1Gbit wired ports. 802.11n can supposedly reach speeds of 300Mbit a second (ha!). Still your shiny new 802.11n gear might be limited by only having 100Mbit wired ports. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
