With dual band routers, is that selectable; i.e., can it be forced to just be 2.4 or must it be both?
I live in rural area w/o interference and I keep reading that 5.0 band has less signal strength, and I have 2.5 floors to cover. Range with old Netear WGR614has not been a problem, just need speed.
Speed is my next question. I presently have cable ISP with 10 meg download speed. Reason I am replacing 8 year old router is I only get 1.5 -2 on speedtest.net going thru router, but hooked just thru modem get very close to the 10 meg.
So with the service I now have if I get an n router is there any difference for me whether it offers 150 or 300 wireless speed?
