The wireless router is dual band (ie 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz). If you currently have a separate modem and then a dual band Netgear Router then I wouldn't bother unless you just want to have one piece of hardware instead of two or are renting the modem from your cable provider.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe it is the wifi router portion that is dual band. Both "Netgear" and "Netgear-5G" show up as wireless networks to connect to. This is a modem and router combo. If your dual band router is still working, I don't know why you would need this combo. Save money and just buy a cable modem-only replacement.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The most current modems meet the DOCSIS 3.0 standard and perform channel bonding to achieve higher transmission speeds. If your modem is older, it may not be able to deliver the transmission speeds you need.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Modem is not Dual band. The WiFi router has dual Band. You get two WiFi networks, one at 2.4 and another 5. If you already have a Dual Band router that you are using with a Cable Modem, then you do not need this. This is a Cable Modem + Dual Band WiFi router. Unless you want to switch from two devices to one :)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is dual band 2.4 and 5GHz. It is a modem and router, a gateway
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The modem by itself is not WI FI the router that is built in makes it wireless and dual band.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
