Tri-Band WiFi
Tri-band WiFi delivers 3.2 Gbps combined WiFi speeds through three dedicated WiFi
bands—a 2.4 GHz band, plus two 5 GHz bands. This additional 5 GHz WiFi band allows you
to double the WiFi bandwidth for dual-band devices.

Figure 6. Tri-band WiFi doubles the available bandwidth for dual-band devices
Smart Connect intelligently selects the best WiFi band for each dual-band device to optimize
connection speed and performance based on that device’s speed and performance. The
router automatically manages your WiFi connections, performing load balancing across the
two 5 GHz radios. This additional WiFi bandwidth combined with the intelligence to segregate
traffic based on WiFi speed and load balancing provides the best performance for multiple
WiFi devices in the home.
How Tri-Band WiFi Improves Speed and Performance
Tri-band WiFi increases the available WiFi bandwidth for your network to reduce network
congestion.
Typically a dual-band WiFi router shares bandwidth among all connected devices that are
downloading data at the same time. So if you are watching a Netflix movie on your
Internet-enabled large screen TV while your kids are watching a YouTube video on a
smartphone, the router shares the bandwidth across these two devices. This is particularly
unfair for the faster 802.11ac devices or three-stream (3x3) 802.11n devices because their
speeds are reduced to the speed of the slowest device in the network. Even one slow device
can bring down the entire network speed.
In this simplified example, the 5 GHz band is capable of a maximum speed of 1300 Mbps, but
the actual speed could be limited by the device capability. For example, an Apple MacBook
Pro with support for three streams is capable of the maximum 1300 Mbps but the
