Dual-Bandwidth Routers for Seamless Connectivity

Standard home network installations consist of a router and modem. Often, the two are combined and referred to as a gateway. While a router is able to connect your home devices, your internet speed can suffer if many devices are used at once. 

Most smart homes have many internet/Wi-Fi-dependent devices, requiring extensive home networks that not only provide high-speed internet but can also connect home technology for seamless operation. To accommodate your extensive data requirements, professionals will use dual-bandwidth routers that can connect as many devices as you want without any signal drops. 

These routers use two different frequencies (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) simultaneously to prevent traffic congestion, resulting in a network that can support all home devices without impacting the speed of your Wi-Fi connection.

In addition, the IoT (Internet of Things) continues to expand to include an ever-growing list of electronics such as media dongles, toys, appliances, and light switches. 

The demands of constant connectivity can easily overwhelm a network. The result is slow page loads, interruptions, lag, and the dreaded buffering message while watching your favorite show or the big game. Instead, a data network should operate seamlessly in the background, never calling attention to itself. 

The Best of Both Worlds

WiFi gives the freedom to enjoy devices and media without the hassle of wires, indoors or outside. Wireless communication does have its benefits, but its reliance on over-the-air signals has its limitations. 

The frequencies used for wireless networking are prone to interference from other WiFi-enabled devices and even a neighbor's network. Because anyone within the range of a router can receive the transmission, there is a greater chance of illicit access by hacking.
