Best Wi-Fi Routers for dual-band support

#1 GL.iNet GL-BE3600 Slate 7
4.5

Despite lacking 6GHz, the 2.4GHz/5GHz dual-band implementation performs very well for travel. It delivers broad compatibility and high 5GHz speed, but cannot match full tri-band Wi‑Fi 7 flexibility.

Pros: VPN client support, value for money

Cons: 6 GHz performance, USB storage sharing

#2 Netgear Nighthawk M7
2.5

Dual-band operation is available, but enabling 2.4GHz can reduce 5GHz performance enough to make the implementation feel compromised.

Pros: eSIM flexibility, cellular connectivity

Cons: interface responsiveness, Ethernet port count
