D-Link just released its new dual-band RangeBooster N router in the form of the DIR-628, offering 802.11n Wi-Fi connectivity on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. It is able to switch to 2.4GHz signals for low-intensity network throughput or 5.4GHz for intensive file sharing and media distribution when and where required, making it one versatile tool to have. The D-Link DIR-628 will retail for $120 a pop.

Unfortunately, even though this is among the very few Wireless-N routers that can do dual-band, it is falsely advertised. You have to select between 2.4 and 5 GHz outright, and cannot use both simultaneously. As a result, to take advantage of 5 GHz, every single connected device must not only have Wireless-N capability, but also Wireless-N dual-band capability, set to function at 5 GHz. Even just one 2.4 GHz device, whether 802.11b, g or n, spoils the whole dual-band feature and you're back to having a plain vanilla Wireless-N router. Don't be fooled by this cheap marketing gimmick.
