“What is the difference in performance in the dual band versus tri band?”

1-3 of 3 Answers

• Hi. The Velop dual-band has a lower wireless technology, which is the AC1300 per node. While the tri-band is an AC2200 per node. But their speeds are almost same. Another difference is the coverage. While the Velop tri-band can cover an estimated 5,000 to 6,000 square feet, the Velop dual-band is only up to 4,000 to 4,500 square feet.

• You only need tri-band if you are a serious many-hours-per-day gamer. Otherwise dual band more than sufficient.

• Tri-band uses the third band for backhaul (talking to each other) where as the dual band shares the back haul and your connection on the same band (as long as you're not on the band being used for the backhaul). Some speed will be sacrificed, but depending on your usage you may not notice the differences. You can use a wired backhaul, forgoing the mesh (mesh uses wifi to interconnect), and just have "intelligent" APs.
