TP-LINK’s TL-WDR3500 is designed for optimal performance with simultaneous dual-band WiFi. Here are the key features and specifications:
Simultaneous Dual-Band WiFi: Combines the reliability of the 2.4GHz network, offering speeds up to 300Mbps, with the fast speeds of a 5GHz band, also providing up to 300Mbps. This setup divides your network between a fast and slow lane, ensuring fast web browsing and even faster online gaming by evenly distributing bandwidth load across multiple wireless networks.
Total Bandwidth: With simultaneous dual-band, users have a total bandwidth of 600Mbps to power numerous bandwidth-intensive applications simultaneously in large home or office settings. Simple tasks like e-mail or web browsing can be handled by the 2.4GHz band at 300Mbps, while more latency-sensitive tasks like online gaming or HD video streaming can be processed over the 5GHz band at 300Mbps. Additionally, the USB 2.0 port allows sharing of flash storage, printers, FTP servers, and media players, enabling a robust home media network.
TL-WDR3500's Simultaneous Dual-Band WiFi: The TL-WDR3500 broadcasts and receives both 2.4GHz and 5GHz connections simultaneously, each with speeds of 300Mbps. This setup is akin to having two wireless routers in one device, allowing users to complete low-bandwidth tasks such as e-mail and web browsing over the 2.4GHz band at 300Mbps, while using bandwidth-intensive or latency-sensitive applications like streaming HD video or playing online games over the clearer 5GHz band at 300Mbps, all without buffering.
What's Included:
The TP-Link TL-WDR3500 is an excellent choice for users seeking reliable and fast dual-band WiFi performance for both everyday tasks and bandwidth-intensive applications.
