Hello, I recently moved and the person i moved in with has a dual band netgear router, i personally have a AirPort Extreme(Not Dual Band) (2007 Model). I often transfer files from my MBP to my iMac and stream video to my PS3 and Apple TV. Should i scrap the Netgear and replace it with my Airport Extreme?

Thanks
 
The Netgear N150 Wireless Router is not a dual band router since it only operates at 2.4GHz.


Both versions of the AirPort Extreme released in 2007 can provide either a 5 GHz or a 2.4 GHz wireless network but are not simultaneous dual-band capable.

You would best be served by not using either and purchasing a new wireless router that can support either 450GHz or 300GHz. Keep in mind though that just because a new router can offer those speeds does not mean that the end devices have support for it.
 
Ok then, Since money is tight right now because i just moved and i had to choose between the two what would you choose?
