NOTES:

If your computer does not have built-in wireless capabilities, you may install an IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN adapter to your computer to connect to the network.

With its dual band technology, your wireless router supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless signals simultaneously.This allows you to do Internet-related activities such as Internet surfing or reading/writing e-mail messages using the 2.4GHz band while simultaneously streaming high-definition audio/video files such as movies or music using the 5GHz band.

If you are using only one computer with single band

IEEE 802.11b/g/n WLAN adapter, you will only be able to use the 2.4GHz band.

If you are using only one computer with dual band

IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN adapter, you will be able to use the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band.

If you are using two computers with both

IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN adapters, you will be able to use both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands simultaneously.

The Ethernet RJ-45 cables that will be used to connect the network devices should not exceed 100 meters.
