Is this true and if so, wouldn't I be better off purchasing a good, reliable dual-band router and hook it into my present Actiontec router and turning off the WiFi on the Actiontec???
Thanks
I'm not sure which of your two problems you're thinking the dual band router will solve, but let say that a 5 GHz signal is less likely to penetrate walls/floors than a 2.4 GHz connection.
A dual band router won't likely solve your problem of getting better service in your lower floor.
