Dual Band Wi-Fi Router

2 min read

Nowadays dual band Wi-Fi is a popular word. In wireless networking, dual-band equipment is capable of transmitting in either of two different standard frequency ranges. More and more SOHO or Industrial Routers can support both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels.

First-generation home network routers produced during the late 1990s and early 2000s contained a single 802.11b Wi-Fi radio operating on the 2.4 GHz band. At the same time, a significant number of business networks supported 802.11a (5 GHz) devices. The first dual-band Wi-Fi routers were built to support mixed networks having both 802.11a and 802.11b clients.

Starting with 802.11n, Wi-Fi standards began including simultaneous dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz support as a standard feature.

What Benefits can Dual-Band Wi-Fi bring to us?

By supplying separate wireless interfaces for each band, dual-band 802.11n and 802.11ac routers provide maximum flexibility in setting up a home network. Some home devices require the legacy compatibility and greater signal reach that 2.4 GHz offers while others may require the additional network bandwidth that 5 GHz offers.

Dual-band routers provide connections designed for the needs of each. Many Wi-Fi networks suffer from wireless interference arising from the prevalence of 2.4 GHz consumer gadgets, like microwave ovens and cordless phones, all of which can only operate on three non-overlapping channels. The ability to use 5 GHz on a dual-band router helps avoid these problems because the technology supports 23 non-overlapping channels.​

Dual-band routers also incorporate Multiple-In Multiple-Out radio configurations. The combination of several radios on one band together with dual-band support provide much higher performance for network than what single-band routers can offer.

Which Brand Industrial Dual-Band Routers is our good choice?

There are so many good dual band industrial routers for us to choose, including model H700/H820Q/H820QO, which design and produced by E-Lins Technology Co., Limited. If you have a project requiring Industrial dual band Wi-Fi router, you can have a good view of the above 3 models.
