Would I benefit from a Dual Band N Router?

[rwayne]

I am trying to decide between getting a standard N linksys router or a dualband linksys router.

I have a cable internet connection and will have the following drawing off of the connection:
2 PCs
1 wireless printer
2 Nintendo DSs
1 Nintendo Wii
& 1 laptop

The only thing I stream is the viewing of random youtube videos.

Do you think Dual Band is warranted in this situtation or would a single band be more than enough?

To use "N" wireless the devices at both ends must both be "N" type.
How many of those items listed are actually "N" wireless devices?
Most will run on "B/G" so dual band might benefit you there.

Same is true for any manufacturers enhancements to the wireless standards. Example: Super G
The device at both ends of the connection must be capable of using the wireless enhancements.

Read the reviews at Newegg for the router you are planning to buy.
