Wireless Routers Reviewed: Which Dual-Band Wi-Fi Device is Best?
Mar 30, 2012 12:26 PM EDT by John Brandon, LAPTOP Contributor Dual-band routers—those able to transmit on both 2.4-GHz and 5.0-GHz—are becoming more and more essential for sharing speedier connections between multiple devices. Each of these devices cost more than budget router options but they’ll improve your home network with above-average throughput and range. What does that mean for you? More connected devices, less connectivity lag. See how each router performed below.
