plus two 5 GHz bands.This additional 5 GHz WiFi band allows you to double the WiFi bandwidth for dual-band
devices.
Figure 6.Tri-band WiFi doubles the available bandwidth for dual-band devices
Smart Connect intelligently selects the best WiFi band for each dual-band device to optimize connection speed and
performance based on that device’s speed and performance capabilities.This...

Tri-band WiFi adds a second 5 GHz WiFi band to the network.This increases the available WiFi...
