What is dual-band?
Wireless networks have until recently mainly used the 2.4GHz frequency to transmit / receive data. Today wireless networking are widely used, which means that there are often many networks within the same area. The 2.4GHz frequency is divided into 13 channels that overlap each other, which often resulting in interference if there are several networks using the same frequency/channels. There are also a lot of other electronics that also uses 2.4Ghz, so that the source for interference are numerous.
A dual-band router transmits at the 5GHz frequency in addition to 2.4GHz, hence the name dual-band.
