Some models of router feature wireless dual-band, which enables the device to broadcast in either the 2.4-GHz or the 5-GHz range. Routers operating on the 2.4-GHz frequency support Wireless-B, Wireless-G and Wireless-N and can broadcast on three separate channels, while routers operating on the 5-GHz frequency support Wireless-A and Wireless-N and can broadcast on 23 non-overlapping channels. The 5-GHz band does not experience the same level of signal interference as does the alternative, but the 2.4-GHz band supports older devices. Most routers that feature dual-band allow users to change on which frequency the wireless antennas communicate.
