Dual Band is the wireless technology which allowing the adapter to
connect with a 2.4GHz or 5GHz network. This allows you to check e-mail
and browse the Internet using the 2.4GHz band or stream HD movies
and other media on the 5GHz band. The advantage of working on the
5GHz band is that, unlike the crowded 2.4GHz band shared with
microwaves, cordless phones and other wireless networks, it has much
less interference and can provide a more stable wireless signal, which is

In Windows XP, N900PCE can be configured by Wireless N Client Utility. This
chapter describes how to configure your Adapter for wireless connectivity on
your Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and use the data security encryption
features.
After Installing the Adapter, the Adapter’s tray icon will appear in your
system tray. It appears at the bottom of the screen, and shows the signal strength
using color and the received signal strength indication (RSSI).
If the icon is gray, there is no connection.
If the icon is red, there is poor signal strength and the RSSI is less than 5dB.
If the icon is yellow, there is poor signal strength and the RSSI is between
5dB and 10dB.
If the icon is green, there is good signal strength and the RSSI is between
10dB and 20dB.
If the icon is green, there is excellent signal strength and the RSSI is more
than 20dB.
