Best Wi-Fi Routers for dual-band support

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: Wi-Fi speed, close-range speed

Cons: mesh performance, seamless handoff

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: Wi-Fi standard support, web interface setup

Cons: 160 MHz support, long-range speed
