What are double band routers? Networks of 2.4 and 5 GHz

What does it mean that a router has a double band?

First of all clarify this. What does this mean of the  double band ?

We say that a router is dual band or  dual-band  when it is capable of operating at  two different frequencies or bands. And what are those two bands? The two bands that a router can support are those centered on the  2.4GHz and the 5GHz .

Therefore, a dual band router is one capable of emitting two WiFi networks, one in 2.4GHz and another in 5GHz. Enterprise routers are basic product for any business/enterprise.

 

The 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks

But what is the use of having a double band? There will be some reason to broadcast on two different frequencies, right?

Yes, of course there is,  each type  of network gives us some  benefits or others . In fact, the optimum is not to use one network or another always. The best would be to use a network for some situations and another for other situations. And when to use which? That we will see when we analyze what advantages and disadvantages each one brings us ...
