  • Operates at both 2.4GHz and 5GHz simultaneously, quick info LCD, detachable antennas, fast 5GHz throughput speeds
  • 2.4GHz speeds aren’t lightning fast even in non-crowded environments
  • There are better 802.11n 2.4GHz routers, but where 5GHz is a viable option the DIR-855 is an excellent device. The ability to use both bands simultaneously without consequence is valuable for a media-heavy home. ...
