 Band: This item determines which operating frequency will be used. Two options are
available: 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. It is recommended that your computers and devices running
video and voice applications use the 5Ghz band, while your guest access and computers
that are only browsing the web use the 2.4Ghz band.
 2.4Ghz - You can use the 2.4GHz band to connect to many classic wireless devices
like gaming consoles, laptops, DVRs, etc.
 5Ghz - This band is less crowded and is used for time-sensitive music, video
streaming or gaming. Using this band can avoid interference with 2.4GHz networks or
noisy devices like cordless phones and microwave ovens.
