What's a quad bandrouter?

Quad-band routers use the first 3 frequencies to connect to your devices. The 2.4GHz band has a long range, but is slower. You can connect smart devices to it. The 6GHz band is the the most recent one and is very fast, but has a small range. Only newer devices that use a lot of data work on this band. The 5GHz band has a long range and high speed, but this band is the busiest. All WiFi 6E and WiFi 7 routers use these frequencies.

Regular routers also use the 5GHz frequency band to connect to other mesh stations. This causes a lot of delay between the stations. Quad-band routers use the fourth frequency only for the connection between the mesh stations. This way, your satellite routers are just as fast as your first router.

Quad-band routers prevent delays caused by using too many devices. You need the fourth frequency even more when you choose a WiFi 7 router. These routers send even larger data packages thanks to the improved processor. In addition, WiFi 7 routers have more antennas, so you can connect more devices to your router at the same time. This makes the 5GHz network even busier, so you'll benefit even more from a dedicated frequency between your mesh stations.
