What's the difference between a dual wireless router and dual router null

Question

The wireless router may have connections for attaching computers to by CAT5 or CAT7 cables, but it is primarily designed to connect without wires using radio frequencies (like to a laptop used in different places). A plain router must be connected to devices using CAT5 or CAT7 cables, or you can't get to the internet. "Dual" usually refers to using 2 different wireless frequencies to provide better (faster, stronger) signal. When you go to Starbucks and use their Wi-Fi, you are making a wireless connection to the internet. Wireless receivers are built into most laptops, but not in all desktop computers. If your desktop doesn't have wi-fi (wireless) built in, or if the machine is old, you can buy a USB wi-fi receiver to plug in very inexpensively. Wi-fi connections are as slow as the slowest component, so make sure the speed of the USB wi-fi matches your router speed.

A dual wireless router should be called a dual band wireless router, because it broadcasts on two bands at the same time.

Wireless allows you to connect all your devices wirelessly, just go to settings on your device and click ‘connect’, and then enter your password, which is on your router.

I moved to a high density area. My old router couldn’t handle the conflicting signals.The dual router took care of the problem.

Dual band wireless routers operate two wireless networks with different bands at the same time. A dual router has open internet on one and VPN secured access on the other.
