Hi there,
I am thinking about replacing my old 54 Mbit router by a wireless-n product.
Let me say that I am not really into networking so excuse my ignorance.
Okay, now I learned that there are routers around which are able to use both 2,4 Ghz and 5 Ghz bands.
The newest routers for home use appear to feature simultaneous dual-channel communication (Netgear wndr 3700 and others).
My networking card in my laptop is an Intel 4965 AGN, supporting draft-n and both bands, not sure though whether simultaneously...
Q: Does it make sense for me to pay more for a "real" simultaneous dual channel router?
I have one Computer and will use just this one. Does my networking card support simultaneous dual channel communications?
Would I be able to increase throughput when accessing my NAS (WD my book world edition) that way? Currently I'm getting 2,5 MB/s throughput via WLAN which is not what I expected.
Or would this be a waste of money?
Thanks everybody. Philxx
