Andy Shaw tests a router that provides your own private Wi-Fi network that even the rest of your family can’t use.
Dual-band routers that offer both a 2.4GHzand a 5GHz network are old news these days.Tri-band routers are a more recent invention and go a stage further by adding a second 5GHz network so you can spread your traffic across the two 5GHz channels, to reduce the likelihood of congestion.
It won’t make your Wi-Fi any faster, but there’s less chance of it slowing down when your network gets busy. To date, this option for a third network has only appeared on very expensive routers, such as the Netgear Nighthawk AC3200, which cost in excess of £200.
