This blog and the Tigarus.com network will be changing our website software in May (2024). There will be some down time and there will be a change to the webpage addresses.
We will also be removing the Anime blogs. The Rocksmith Songs website will be unavailable of a few weeks or months while I move the database to the new software.
At the moment we are running on Wordpress, the new software is an in-house project which is 57 times faster. It will also provide more freedom for development.
Thank you for understanding.
Many shoppers looking for a new wireless router may of noticed the new dual band wireless routers with the faster 5GHz frequency, but is it really faster or better for you? Dual band routers include both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless bands and can transmit both simultaneously.
5GHz Better Than 2.4GHz?
Frequency is the number of radio waves transmitted per second. The faster 5GHz frequency is potentially twice as fast as 2.4GHz, but the faster the frequency means that the waves have more density. The higher frequency means that the waves disappear faster which limits the distance the waves can travel shorter and is harder to travel through sold objects.
So what exactly is the difference or benefits between the two wireless bands.
2.4GHz Band Pros:
2.4GHz Band Cons:
5GHz Band Pros:
5GHz Band Cons:
Although 2.4GHz is easily blocked by interference, it is still a great choice and costs less than 5GHz. The newly introduced 5GHz wireless band is great if you are willing to invest in it, but the downside is that the signal needs to be repeated often to extend its range. Dual band routers can allows for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands at the same time, so you don’t have to upgrade all your wireless devices. Either way you can’t go wrong with getting a new dual band router. Even if you can’t use the new 5GHz band it is still a normal router and the option for 5GHz will be there for future use.
