I decided to stop paying yet more to Comcast. So got a Netgear Nighthawk Modem and this Velop Dual-Band 3 pack system. It was dead easy to set up. The dual band worked perfectly for 12 devices/TV/computers in our 3-floor house. But then I got a couple of devices that needed strictly 2.4 GHz. I called Linksys support and the tech showed me how to do that within 2 min. Their support was excellent. Now this system doesn't even buffer during sports (soccer/basketball) programs. Well worth the money. Only reason to get the more expensive tri-band is if you are a serious gamer [not allowed in my house].
Give the cleaning power of Maytag more prominence, while adding a drawer to hide away laundry supplies. Accessory pedestals add 15.5" of height for bonus storage and to help prevent bending and stooping.

What is the difference in performance in the dual band versus tri band?
You only need tri-band if you are a serious many-hours-per-day gamer. Otherwise dual band more than sufficient.
