The TP-Link EC225-G5 router operates as a dual-band device, providing both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless networks simultaneously. This allows for flexible connectivity options for various devices.

• Banda de 2.4 GHz: Offers wider coverage and better penetration through walls, suitable for general internet use, browsing, and devices that do not require high bandwidth.
• Banda de 5 GHz: Provides faster speeds and lower latency, ideal for online gaming, HD video streaming, and other bandwidth-intensive applications. It has a shorter range and is more susceptible to obstructions.
• Mode de punt d'accés: The EC225-G5 can also function in Access Point (AP) mode. In this mode, the router connects to an existing wired network and broadcasts a wireless signal, extending the reach of your current network. This is useful for adding Wi-Fi capability to a wired-only network or expanding an existing wireless network.
