How to: Blazing Fast Internet Speed with Dual Band Wifi



          

4-30-092vs52

Learn how to rapidly increase your internet speed by using the D-Link DIR-825 dual-band router.  The standard wifi spectrum is filled with dirty signals from Bluetooth and microwaves and that constant interference slows down file transfers and internet connection. “On the other hand, 5GHz 802.11n is clean and incredibly fast – it’s really easy to upgrade if you’ve got a simultaneous dual-band router like the D-Link DIR-825 (cheap on eBay).

How to set it up:

First setup your central router normally, assigning it an SSID and select the 5GHz method where the option is available.  Typically, you can find this under the settings menu but it’s different for various manufacturers.

The next important step is to enable the wide channel option.  This allows your two 802.11n signals to be meshed into one, creating the “dual-band” and big increase in speed.  Sometimes menu’s with this option are hidden so you might have to click advanced options in the wireless menu.  See this tutorial for further information.
