Is Apple AirPort Extreme a dual-band router?

The new AirPort Extreme is a true dual-band router, offering Wi-Fi coverage on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands at the same time. This means it supports all existing Wi-Fi clients, regardless of their Wi-Fi standard, with the top possible speed.

Does AirPort Extreme support 5GHz?

Older base stations, such as the first and second generations of Apple’s Airport Extreme (released in 2007), support either 2.4GHz or 5GHz operation, but not both at the same time. This means you can manually select the 2.4GHz network or the 5GHz network as needed.

Should I use 2g or 5g WiFi?

Ideally, you should use the 2.4GHz band to connect devices for low bandwidth activities like browsing the Internet. On the other hand, 5GHz is the best suited for high-bandwidth devices or activities like gaming and streaming HDTV.

Can you change 5GHz to 2.4 GHz?

It is not mandatory to disable the 5GHz band completely and it is possible to separate the two bands by opening your router settings and changing the name (SSID) of each band. Then, simply connect to the WiFi name allocated to the 2.4GHz band on your phone and the SkyBell HD during the sync process.
