ADVANCED VIDEO AND MUSIC STREAMING PERFORMANCE You can enjoy video and music streaming, Web surfing, e-mailing, chatting, and multi-player gaming with the N600 DB Dual-Band Wi-Fi USB Adapter. The adapter delivers connection speeds of up to 300Mbps on both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands. DUAL-BAND CONNECTIVITY IMPROVES WI-FI SIGNAL This dual-band adapter can connect to older routers that operate on a 2.4GHz frequency, as well as newer ones that use a 5.0GHz frequency. If you are using the adapter outside your home, this gives you greater flexibility in the Wi-Fi networks you can use. Moreover, the 5.0GHz band typically has less interference, which means you'll get a better Wi-Fi signal in more places. For home networks with a dual-band router, a dual-band adapter lets you choose which frequency to use, offering separate bandwidth amounts for different users. One family member can play an online game with one frequency, while another can check e-mail with the other frequency without having connection speed slowed.
