Dual-band router vs. single-band router

Dual-band router vs. single-band router: which one to choose?

Single-band router is limited in speed to the internet connection and the speed of the router itself. Therefore, the user may encounter frequent connection issues or interferences, which can reduce Wi-Fi speed or stability.

Dual-band router support both bands (2.4GHz and 5GHz) and provide faster speed and flexibility. Therefore, the dual-band router avoids connection issues or interferences and offers more stability. The dual-band can also reach a signal up to 100x the wireless bandwidth, as showed on the picture below.

Single-band router has shorter range and the signal strength is not strong enough. It’s perfectly designed for people who are looking for web browsing APP, checking mails, watching videos.

Dual-band router has longer range and better signal strength, and despite the broadcasting on two different bands, it can switch automatically when needed. Due to its strong signal, the dual-band router is suitable for online high-resolution gaming, video streaming and high-resolution audio.
