The N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDRMAC provides high-performance wireless
Internet access. Its dual band design provides the maximum flexibility for a home network. This
is because the router contains two different types of wireless radios to support connections on
both 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz wireless links.
