dual band worth the extra $10?

Absolutely. 5GHz generally has less interference than 2.4GHz due to its smaller range.

I do not believe so, you would need dual band for insteon & X-10. For me the insteon has proven more reliable and I am replacing all my X-10 units over time.

Devices that support dual band will be able to use the 5Ghz range. Not all do, so you have to make a decision based on what type of devices you'll be using with it.

Honestly I don't like handhelds after trying. Yaesuis the easiest cause there is a good program for setting frequencies. I just preferred a one or two band model for simplicity . Good luck

Dual band mode selects the best of the two bands available. It can help with speed. Ultimately speed on your local network is controlled by the slowest of all components: router, access points, drives, etc.

I don't think there's a significant difference. Both seem to work well enough for me. If you have problems with wireless radio reception, you might suspect your radio firmware, your ROM, or your phone's logic board.

I agree with the others. Splitting the signal will reduce the strength but you can try the one to see. The product is definitely worth a try for the initial cost.

When I researched this subject I found that double cables provide the most bandwidth for your the signal being transmitted. Which leads to better quality and stability. The key however is to make sure the cables are exactly the same length otherwise it will not work.

I am a it pro and personally I would save your money. I have use a bunch of different antennas and I have seen very little change. a better access point is a much better option. if you are trying to go between building I like engenius outdoor access point if it is inside I like a dlink dap1522. if you use either of theses you want to set them up with a static ip they are much easier that way,

Here is a link at Ubiquiti for the UniFi product data sheet. http://dl.ubnt.com/datasheets/unifi/UniFi_AP_DS.pdfIt has a chart showing the difference between the indoor products. They offer both single speed (2.4 GHz) and dual band (2.4 & 5.0GHz) access points. I have installed the AP-LR in my home, improving the wireless network coverage over that provided by my D-Link router. Installed the AP-AC at a golf course, this has dual band frequencies, great for Apple products with 5.0 GHz speed wireless capabilities. Also running wireless IP cameras through this AP-AC. Great product, with reasonable pricing.

Some Routers can send you both 2.5GHz & 5GHz signals the 7260 can receive both of those at the same time, this makes the signal both stronger and faster and is the reason why the 7260 is better and more $ than the 3160. Again this is entirely dependent on the router, ao if the router can't do that you won't notice a difference.

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.

if the ad range is 60feet of RX power. Replace the stock antenna with a 2-3-4x higher dbi antenna (I believe this one features a RP-SMA antenna port vs the Miccus which is SMA port.) and you'll get a much better range and signal strength. I replaced my Miccus antenna with a 8dbi and i can basicly dance around the whole home in both TX and RX modes. But with the standard antenna i was only able to do half my home. And this is threw walls,etc. So if you get ether such. Highly suggest getting a upgrade antenna.

I am not sure. What is the difference, ten dollars? I absolutely love my unit. Get the hd radio, you won't regret it

Hi. Yes you can. To help you. Please try these sites with videos. WWW.YouTube.com/watch ?v=sjojhmewyoc. Or WWW.YouTube.com/watch?v=Irwbikfiumu. Just a reminder you can only use one band at a time
