Hi. Does this work with dual band router (2.4 and 5)?

It's only 2.4ghz I would buy a 2.4 5.8ghz dual antenna so router works at 100% efficiency

No. As far as I could tell while I had this device, there's no way to dedicate one of the bands to communicating with the primary router preventing the immediate 50% loss in bandwidth. The previous answer of "yes", I believe, was confusing the fact that this device is dual-band, but that is not what the question asks. Other manufactures call this Boost Band or Fast Lane technology. I found nothing like this in any of the settings of this device.

When you are in the location where you router is located and operating, go to WiFi in your phone settings and turn WiFi off momentarily, and then back on again, to get the phone searching for WiFi signals. If your phone is capable of handling both bands, it will find both bands and show them. Select the band you prefer. If your phone only finds the 2.4 Ghz band, it probably is not a dual N band phone.

I use a Cisco Linksys E4200 at my apartment and can access all the features offered by the router on this laptop. This is the only dual band device I have so it is the only one I can offer confirmation for.

I have a dual band router, and the speaker will only recognize the 2.4 Ghz band. But for streaming music the 2.4 Ghz band is more than adequate, so this hasn't been an issue for me.

This laptop has an 802.11n wireless card, so it will connect at 2.4ghz. Since the router is dual band, however, it should work just fine.

This router is dual band too. It should be able to handle 16 devices well, if the location of the router is within the range of the devices (300 ft line of sight, less across walls).

Yes, I have Linksys Dual Band N900 (E4200 v2) and recently got a PC with windows 8 (64bit). It worked well with the new OS.

This product Supports Both 11AC ( 5GHz Band ) and 11n ( 2.4GHz Band ) Wi-Fi Connectivity. I am not sure if it support 11n 5ghz. If your router will need to support these feature.

Funny you should ask. Although the packaging for the unit does mention support for both 2.4 and 5GHz networks, the player is unable to find my 5GHz network, but is able to discover the 2.4GHz network easily. I'm thinking there's a misprint on the packaging itself.

Yes it does have dual band in the WiFi adapter settings. Tried all options but grew tired of trying options that failed.

If your router is capable of both 2.4/5GHz use the 5GHz, it tends to be more stable.

I successfully use this gadget with a NETGEAR N600 Wireless Dual Band Router (WNDR3400) which has both bands. Whether it's actually using both bands or not -- I don't know, but it gets the job done.

Hi This particular product is version 1. The one for version 2 is this http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-Performance-Dual-Band-E4200-v2/dp/B0068ALV8Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354196392&sr=8-1&keywords=e4200v2 . You are also correct that the different versions of the router accounts for different CPU or chipset. Thanks, Cisco-Linksys Support http://homesupport.cisco.com

There is no such thing as a triband adapter. The router has 2 5Ghz radios and one 2.4Ghz radio. You want a dual band ac or n adapter (5Ghz and 2.4Ghz). The reason it is advertised as triband is because, it balances the load on the 5Ghz band between the two 5Ghz radios. If you have a mix of 5Ghz n and ac devices, the router will separate them on to different radios so the "n" devices don't slow down the "ac" devices, for all this to happen make sure "Smart Connect" is enabled. If smart connect is disabled you can still do the same thing manually.

Dual band is 2.4ghz and 5.0ghz bands. Normally 5.0 ghz is reserved for video streaming.

Yes it will work with any Wireless Access Point (WAP) or wireless router that supports B, G or N band.
