A dual- band network has the benefit of faster throughput or communication for tasks that are very demanding such as file sharing, video and music streaming within a home network and gaming.
A dual band wireless router enables user to separate broad bandwidth tasks such as movie streaming and other media elements from web surfing or checking of email. The 5GHz band user can efficiently surf the internet on the 2.4GHz band while at the same time streaming media on the 5GHz band.
When you switch to a dual band router with a 5GHz, interference is minimized from neighbouring Wi-Fi networks. Dual- band also helps to prevent interference with home appliances like intercoms, microwave ovens, baby monitors and cordless phones because they also run on the same 2.4GHz band which means that the more of these appliances that are in the 2.4GHz band of the wireless network, the lower and less efficient the speed of the network will be.
The way to use dual band router (802.11n) efficiently is to keep all internet tasks such as internet surfing, mail checking etc. down on the 2.4GHz band and throw all the streaming tasks up on the 5GHz where the band is wider and can handle the greater tasks.
