Our oldest is a “gamer”. I don’t know which applications use what amount of bandwtih but we were constantly having to reset our previous wireless modem. I just set the Netgear router up tonight and it seems to be working fine. I do have a question though. During the setup, I had to “name” both bands (I guess that’s what they are – one is 2.4GH and the other is 5GH). When we search for available wireless connections it only shows the 2.4GH network band. How does this work? Is there two network bands or just one primary and then the big gun (5GH) kicks in when you’re running low.Obviously I am extremely network illiterate. I can follow directions and set something up but the rationale sometimes goes over my head. If anyone can explain HOW this router works, I’d love to learn about it.Thanks for your time!Jane I just purchased this router because our family has two laptops and one desktop that are (probably) in use at the same time on any given day.
