1.3 Dual-Band WiFi

When WiFi is enabled on the WX Device, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax compliant clients, such as
notebooks, tablets and smartphones can wirelessly connect to the WX Device to access network
resources.
With dual-band, the WX Device is a gateway that can use both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi networks at the
same time. WiFi clients could use the 2.4 GHz band for regular Internet surfing and downloading while
using the 5 GHz band for time sensitive traffic like high-definition video, music, and gaming.
