Transmit Wi-Fi only on one wireless frequency meaning that they emit only one wireless network. In most cases, they emit on the 2.4GH frequency. Single-band routers are not the right choice for modern smart homes, as they are underpowered, and use an old wireless networking standard that is not suitable for Full HD movie streaming or online gaming.
Transmit Wi-Fi on two wireless frequencies, 2.4GHz (which is slower, but with a larger coverage area) and 5GHz (which is faster but with a smaller coverage area). The user sees two wireless networks being broadcast, with different names. The settings for both bands can be adjusted to use the same network name. Majority of modern routers are dual-band.
Transmit Wi-Fi on three wireless frequencies, one 2.4GHz frequency and two 5GHZ frequencies. The user sees three wireless networks being broadcast, but they can be set to use the same name. Tri-band routers provide the latest features and top of the line performance at a premium price.
Transmit Wi-Fi on four wireless frequencies, one 2.4GHz frequency, two 5GHz frequencies, and one GHz frequency. The user can use the three higher bandwidths, but if a backhaul is required, then either the 5GHz or the 6GHz band can be used. This router can be best used to form a mesh network.

Use the table below to identify the right router series for you, based on your home size and usage requirements. The series name indicates the transfer speed of the router, with more intense use requiring higher transfer speeds. A Wi-Fi extender or mesh system is recommended for large houses or heavy usage.
N Series
AXIO, AC750 Series
AX20, AC1200 Series
AX2O, AC750 Series + Extender
AX1500, AC1200 Series + Extender
AX1800, AC1900 Series + Extender
AX300O, AC1200 + Extender or Mesh system
AX300O, AC1900 + Extender or Mesh system
AX6000, AC2600 + Extender or Mesh system
AX300O, AC1200 + Extender or Mesh system
AX6000, AC2600 + Extender or Mesh system
AX11000, AC2600 + Extender or Mesh system
While selecting a range extender it should be noted that the range extender protocol matches the primary router protocol to ensure seamless connectivity. Additional mesh satellites can be added to a mesh network to enhance connectivity.
Network adapters are used to connect computers to Wi-Fi networks. These devices are mostly pre-installed inside a laptop or a desktop. These are required when a computer’s network card is damaged or not working, resulting in connectivity issues. There are 4 types of network adapters available in the market and can be selected as per one’s requirements.
Network switches are devices used to divert relevant data to the relevant device connected to a network. Switches are mostly tunnels that allow address-based flow of data to and fro devices. There are 4 types of switches broadly segregated according to their usage and functionalities.
