Does this have single or double band wi-fi?

Single, Intel Wireless-N 7260. After a week of travel use (hotels, airports, guest rooms) I find the range more limited than the iPad I also carry but no real problem maintaining a connection with even a moderately weak signal. However like others, I've ordered a 7260 H/T dual band module (about $32) to replace the 7260n. Dis-assembly videos convinced me that the replacement effort should be relatively simple.

Some of the newer production models are in fact shipping with the newer Intel 7260 Dual Band AC cards with 4.0 Bluetooth.

No it does not. You will need either a Dual Band card or a Wireless N card.

Yes, it does have single side band; no, it does not have an RCA adapter (neither for an external antenna, nor for the AUX input). The AUX input is 1/8" female, stereo. External antenna input is 1/8" female mono.

It is both N and Ac, if your wireless devices support AC. Dual band of 2.4 and 5 ghz. My laptop only uses 2.4, my cell phone can use both 2.4 and 5ghz. 2.4 will travel further, but 5 may have greater bandwidth, as I understand it

This model will connect to any available WiFi network compatible with a 2.4 GHz band. Regards. Jeannette

This modem/router is an 802.11n dual band WiFi router, meaning it broadcasts across both the 2.4Ghz and 5 Ghz spectrums. It does so separately, so you can connect both 802.11ac and 802.11n devices, or disable one of the antennas to use only one of those portions of the spectrum.

Yes, Sean. You may change the SSID for both bands and manually uncheck the Broadcast SSID feature of your router.

Version 1.0 comes with a nice antenna. The issue is that the WiFi module in Version 1 uses is an old WiFi module from Microchip that supports WiFi A&B; but not G (i.e. is limited and old). The WiFi A & B protocols are old standards and many modern (even 4+ year old) routers/AP don't support those protocols well (or in some cases at all). Version 2.0 uses a newer WiFi module that supports the G standard along with a few more enhancements.

No, I Have a dual band router and it only picks up 2.4. In fact that is my last favorite part of this laptop is the wireless. It constantly drops my wifi. It shows connected bit is not. I've bought a new USB wireless and a new w router to make sure it's my network card's issue. Other than that, it's been a good laptop.

The one I purchased had Wifi. Check the description. Some are, and some aren't.

When you are in the location where you router is located and operating, go to WiFi in your phone settings and turn WiFi off momentarily, and then back on again, to get the phone searching for WiFi signals. If your phone is capable of handling both bands, it will find both bands and show them. Select the band you prefer. If your phone only finds the 2.4 Ghz band, it probably is not a dual N band phone.

There are a number of big differences in the models. The SBG6782-AC supports the 802.11ac Wi-Fi specifications as well as 802.11b/g/n. The SBG6782-AC is also a dual-concurrent Wi-Fi access point where the 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wireless Radios are both enabled at the same time. The SBG6580 is a dual-radio / non-concurrent Wi-Fi AP. The SBG6782-AC also has a faster processor and is built on the next generation Cable Modem Chipset.

No it does not. I found this to be a bit misleading but I assumed the wireless N extender would be dual frequency (as my D-Link wireless N router is). I was disappointed this was not the case. This extender will only extend the 2.4 GHz signal.

Not it is not. It will only connect to 2.4GHZ or 5GHZ at one time. To get both at once on a laptop you'll need an external adapter as no one is selling true dual band in the half-mini form factor.

Nope, it is a single radio. The two-way designation means it both receives and transmits, as apposed to, say, your car radio, which only receives.

Kinda, it has the typical ASUS driver software which allows for independent setting for the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands. You can give each band a separate SSID and password. That will allow you to connect to just the 5Ghz band with your devices. After you have separate SSIDs you can also disable the 2.4Ghz SSID broadcast so it won't even show up as an option on most of your devices. However, there's no way to actually disable the 2.4Ghz band broadcast. Remember, even when the 2.4Ghz band is "hidden" you (or others) can still find it and connect to it so make sure it's password protected!

Yes! This system operates within the 2.4GHz band - and, from my own personal experience, it uses nearly ALL of the 2.4GHz band. It completely walked all over my router and wireless connections.
