 Concurrently with 2.4GHz and 5GHz (802.11a/b/g/n) - Choose this option, and then the
router will work concurrently in 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency.
 Only work in 2.4GHz (802.11b/g/n) - Choose this option, and then the router will only work
in 2.4GHz frequency. You can use the 2.4GHz band to connect to many classic wireless
devices like gaming consoles, laptops, DVRs, ect.
 Only work in 5GHz (802.11a/n) - Choose this option, and then the router will only work in
5GHz frequency. This band is less crowded and is used for time-sensitive music, video
streaming or gaming. Using this band can avoid interference with 2.4GHz networks or noisy
devices like cordless phones and microwave ovens.
