“I'm curious as to what the 3rd band frequency is. You're dual band routers are 2.4 Mghz and 5 Mghz. What is the 3rd one on this router? And if it's a N band and 2 AC bands, that doesn't make much since to me. More info please. Thank you”

The third band is strictly for the base router and the extender to communicate without piggybacking off the other bands.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Third band is a dedicated 5 GHz band that is only used to connect the base with the satellite unit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Zwick, I'm sorry, I don't know what frequency it is, but it is used for the main unit and the satellite unit to connect dedicated. Not used for connecting to other wifi devices.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I read somewhere that it's another band in the 5 Ghz range. The Netgear team answer is a little lazy, just cut and paste from the data sheet, didn't really answer the question. But it's also not user accessible, so just enjoy it, everyone says it works great (I'm about to buy one of these systems but have not yet).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Orbi system offers a powerful AC3000 mesh network with simultaneous Tri-Band WiFi supporting IEEE® 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHz–256QAM support), IEEE® 802.11a/n/ac (5GHz–256QAM support), and a dedicated link between the router and satellite to offer the best possible speeds to all connected devices.
