Dual band support in UK

i own a nokia 3300. I would be flying to UK soon. I understand that 3300 has dual band support. I wanted to confirm whether I can use it in UK too.

In the UK you'll find 900MHz and 1800MHz GSM/GPRS networks, and 2100MHz WCDMA (UMTS) networks.
In North America what's used instead is 850MHz and 1900MHz for GSM/GPRS and 1900MHz also for WCDMA.
The North American 3300 model seems to support only 850MHz and 1900MHz (according to the nokiausa.com web page for it), which means that it will not work outside North America. It would have to have one or the other of the frequency bands user elsewhere on the planet, and as it doesn't...
You can buy (or possibly rent, or borrow) a different phone with support for GSM frequencies used elsewhere in the world, and use your original SIM card in it. (As long as you don't buy/get an operator-locked phone that only accepts SIM cards from that operator).
If, on the other hand, you are not from North America, and you have the European/Asian 3300, then it will work in the UK, too.

Simultaneous Dual Band Support

Apple states that their current AirPort Extreme can operate on both frequencies bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) simultaneously.
1. What about previous versions? Do they support simulaneous dual band operation? When I look at my AirPort base station I see that it supports both bands, but I can't find anything that tells me whether it's one band or the other, one at a time, or both at the same time. Is dual band something new to the current AirPort?
2. Separate from the base station, what do the Apple products support? From what I found so far, it appears that iPad 2 and the latest MacBook Pro's support the higher frequency (5GHz) but all the iPhones only support the lower frequency (2.4 GHz).
3. Is there a way to force the base station to only use the higher frequency?

Can you force the device to use a particular band?
Only if you assign a separate name to the 5 GHz band.
Then you can "point" your computer to either the 2.4 GHz band or the 5 GHz band because they will appear as separate networks with different names.
If both bands are using the same wireless network name....the default setting of the AirPort Extreme....then each device will "look" for the best available signal quality and connect to the band that it feels offers the best quality....automatically.
Is there a way to tell which band a device is connecting to the base station?
Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen. The Channel information will indicate which band the device is connected to at that time.
In general, if you have a new Mac and it is in the same room or close proximity to the AirPort Extreme, it will connect at 5 GHz. If you take the laptop down the hall and around the corner, it will probably connect to the 2.4 GHz network. That's because 2.4 GHz signals are stronger than 5 GHz signals, so they work more effectively over distance and through obstructions like walls and ceilings.
Unfortunately, you always have to give up something to gain something else.
In the case of 5 GHz, you gain potential speed, but since the signals are not as strong as 2.4 Ghz signals, you must give up distance and penetration power.

Simultaneous Dual Band for Last Gen. Airport?

Does anyone know if the latest software update ADDS dual band support to the previous generation of Airport Extremes? I bought the previous generation base station about 3 months ago. It would be cool if I got the enhanced functionality with a software update.
Thanks

All of the AirPort 802.11n products are dual-band. They can operate in either 2.4GHz or 5GHz, but not at the same time--they need to be reconfigured in AirPort Utility to switch.
The new AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule just introduced each have two 802.11n radios, one in 2.4GHz and one in 5GHz, so they can operate in both bands at the same time. It's called "simultaneous dual band" or "concurrent dual band" by others. But it does mean a hardware change, so it won't be available as a firmware upgrade to older AirPort APs.

Can the imac core duo support dual band wifi?

I have a core duo 2GHz iMac intel. Can the imac core duo support dual band wifi?

Do you mean will your iMac work with a router that supports dual band? If this is correct, the answer is yes. If that isn't what you intended please look at the system specification for your machine. You can find that by clicking Support - Tech Specs

Alternative simultaneous dual band router that supports NTFS?

I was totally smitten with my Airport Extreme, until I had to change all of my media hard drives to NTFS (they had hit the characters per directory limit that FAT32 has).
I need to keep them as NTFS, because my TV only reads FAT32 or NTFS hard drives (i.e. I couldn't change to HFS+)
So my question is, does anyone know of a simultaneous dual band router (5ghz + 2.4ghz) which has gigabit ethernet ports and a USB port which supports NTFS hard drives?
From researching, the big competitors are the Linksys WRT610N and the Netgear DIR-855. Problem is, the Linksys and Netgear support forums are filled with posts from people claiming NTFS hard drives either don't work at all, or are severely temperamental
I could go for a NAS, but I just managed to get a pair of 2TB Western Digital USB hard drives for £98 each. I've been unable to find a 2TB (single hard drive) NAS for less than £170.

Can I use my wireless or an extra router along with the Verizon provided router?

Dual band wireless 2.4 and 5 ghz not supported

well first off i cant believe this 2013 model that cost 800.00 doesn't support both radio 2.4 ghz frequency and 5.0 frequency for media. i bought a dual band router that creates 2 networks one for email and internet and the other for media. i dont know what to do because it will not get the download speed i buy 200mbps. only about 100mbps. The wireless network adapter and wireless frequency of 5.0 needs to be installed in this computer. I am so frustrated with all the media out there and technology dual band routers have been around for 5 years or so. so why did hp neglect to incorporate what the routers aare doing. I have my 2 smart tvs, blueray player, cell phone, and laptop part of only one network that does not include video. and i am supposed to have a working nertwork. thats a joke and a big problem thanks to hp. does anyone know what i need to do to this pc to get the 5.0ghz band frequency come out of this computer and i guess i need a new wireless network adapter that accommodates both frequencies. but heres the problem everything is housed in the monitor because it is an all in one. at least the old towers you could open and get a picture of what was inside the tower and what was available to add to to the empty spaces or slots. i am not going to be able to open this up and install a chip for the network adapter and hardware to send and receive a 5.0 frequency and all the channels that go with it. any advice

ii appreciate your reply but routers started wireless connections using dual band about 5 years ago andd if its so cheap to get then hp should have the technology as well. the computer manufacturers know about this technology long before it actually comes out so probably about 2008 hp already knew about thee dual band wifi connection and they probably were instrumental in getting the 5.0 frequency because it supports media and has not been used as much as 2.4ghz. they just didnt want to spend the money or time to install the necessary hardware and software to keep the frequencies from conflicting and screwing up the channels putting out the data and video. that would involve additional software and hardware to keep static and channel conflicts from causing data and video interference. I will contact hp and ask when will they have the dual frequency wifi hardware adapters and software available on there computers and can i get it installed in this one

Dual band wifi support

Which Mac minis support dual band wifi?

Further investigation:
802.11n spec does not require the 50Ghz radio and some of the early "n" implementations were not dual band. However, I looked in my "about this Mac" system report (late '09 mini) and it showed a number of channels supported above the first 11 which are in the 20 Ghz range. So I am sure it supports the 50Gz radio and is dual band. Maybe all Mac "n" implementations are dual band!

Supported Dual Band Wifi Card for s230u Twist?

I just bought the s230u Twist and realized that the Intel 2230 wifi card is *not* dual band (2.4 GHz only). I also realize that the BIOS has a whitelist for mini-pci cards and need to know if there are any dual band cards that are supported. Thanks.

Hey there guys,
Jccheng, the ThinkPad a/b/g/n Wireless & Bluetooth 4.0 (2x2 ABGN & BT 4.0) is a dual band adapter that is compatible and comes as upgrade with the ThinkPad Twist s230u. The 802.11a only runs on a 5Ghz Frequency, and the 802.11n can run on either. I have listed all the adapter options with part numbers below:

H520 wireless card (realtek 8188e)-does it support dual band router

Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi Dia,
As per this pdf data sheet, the Realtek RTL8188EE is a single band (2.4Ghz) Wi-Fi card. If your router is a dual-band, you need to configure it to broadcast 2.4Ghz frequency so that the Ideacentre H520 can connect. Otherwise, it will not be able to connect to the 5Ghz band.
Regards

Airport Express supports dual-band. Airport Extreme supports simultaneous dual-band. What's the difference?

What is the difference between the two. And which one would be better for extending my wifi signal for my ipod touch
http://www.apple.com/wifi/

Hi Joel,
Simultaneous dual band = can process signals on both bands concurrently.
dual band = can process a signal on one band at a given time, either or.

E545 Dual Band WiFi supported (authorized) whitelisted cards

Dual-band wireless question

Hi again: I am new to this dual-band wireless stuff in TC having just replaced my AE with a new TC. I have a few questions regarding wireless setup.
1. When selecting the "Radio Mode" you are presented with options like "802.11a/n - 802.11b/g". Does this setting mean that the primary wireless will be a/n wile the guest wireless will be restricted to b/g ?
2. If you Option-click on the Radio-Mode pick list you can select multiple other settings. On of which is 802.11n (5 ghz) - 802.11a/b. Give question 1 does this restrict the main wireless to 5 ghz n only? (I highly doubt this as I can still connect to the "n network" with my iphone which only supports b/g.)
3. Under "Wireless Options" you can select a "5 ghz" network. Is this different than the option detailed in Question 2?
4. Finally, where can I find a manual for TC ?
Thanks for the help, Chris.

So is my assumption that the hyphen in the selection is the differentiation between the two networks?
Also, when I activate the "5 ghz" setting under options I actually see three networks, "Network1 (5 Ghz), Network1, and Network2 in my naming system. Does this mean that Network1 (5 Ghz) in the N only while Network1 is a standard N (with backwards compatibility to b/g)? I think this is the case as my iPhone does connect to Network1 while Network1 (5 Ghz) is not detected.
Thanks for the help, Chris.

How can I get Wireless N 5MHZ Capabilities Dual Band up to 300MHZ on my DV7 Laptop?

How can I get Wireless N 5MHZ Capabilities Dual Band up to 300MHZ on my DV7 Laptop?
Question for 4/18 experts ...
Or specifically, how can I replace my wireless card on a DV7-6B32US and upgrade to Intel Centrino 6230?
I have a relatively new DV7-6B32US puchased on 11/2011. Still under warranty. purchased 2 of the laptops. (also own 3 hp desktops and 1 HP All in One)
Existing card is wireless N but does not support 5GHZ or dual band. It is Broadcom 4313 wifi card and I am just realizing that the Broadcom card does not do the dual band 5GHZ wireless N. I have Linksys e4200 router which supports 5GHZ and dual band speeds up to 300 Mbps.
I called tech support and with their help identified Intel Centrino 6230 as the correct upgrade, and with their help ordered 631956-001. In the Maintenance Manual for DV7 laptop, this part number was listed for Intel Centrino 6230. Turns out HP sends an Intel Wireless N 1030 card, which is no better than my existing card. I called HP and they acknowledged that some manuals use part number 631956-001 for Centrino 6230 and some use 631956-001 for INtel 1030. So HP support said they would give refund but case manager was of no help in solving the upgrade problem. Said it was unavailable but here is your money back.
So after more searching, I see others have used part number 636672-001 to order Intel Centrino 6230, specifically for HP ProBook 4530s, 4230s, 4730s. And if I use part number 636672-001 and go thru parts store at HP, I can purchase it.
But will it work??
First, will the Intel Centrino 6230 with part number 636672-001 from HP parts, work in my HP DV7-6B32US, even though the part number is NOT listed in the Maintenance and Service Guide for my specific laptop. I see postings about whitelists and changing bios, etc, and am hoping someone can provide some guidance. I have been thru 2 tech support calls and one case manager and have gotten 3 different feedback from HP, from yes it will work and ordering the part, to buy it on amazon, to it will not work and here is your money back.
Second, I see some postings about Centrino 6230 and multiple antenna's. When I replaced the Broadcom 4313 with the Intel 1030 card, I simply unattached 2 wires and reattached the wires. And it worked. I am wondering if the reason HP doesn't list the 6230 card for DV7 is that DV7 does not have the antennas required to support 6230. Does the Centrino 6230 require 3 antennas?
Thanks for any suggestions. The existing cards do work but I paid extra for the Linksys e4200 Router and just assumed a winter 2011 $700 laptop from HP would use the latest wireless n technology, otherwise I would just keep existing cards.

I have went thru the exact same problems trying to upgrade the wireless card in my DV7. It is very frustrating that the wireless card can't be upgrade to one that supports 5Ghz. Here is my post from the network forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Wireless-Internet-Home/Unsupported-Wireless-LAN-6230/td-p/1419595 Doesn't sound like it is possible to upgrade to the Centrino 6230 without it being added the the "white list". Sound like HP doesn't update the list after shipping the notebook. I feel your pain. HP needs to help out the consumer in upgrading the wireless cards. I see we are not the only ones that have had this problem.

HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-all-in-one printer & dual band router

Hi, I'm hoping someone will be able to confirm whether this printer is compatible with my router which is a dual band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. I am not able to connect it to the internet. The box says that the printer is compatible only with 2.4 GHz routers. Would the fact that my router is dual band mean that it will not work with the printer?

Hello @JMHouston , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are looking into your options for a dual band router. I would love to help.
The printer will only connect to a 2.4 GHz broadcast. To quote this document on Print | Rate this content HP Printers - Tips and Workarounds for Common Wireless Network Printer Iss...
Dual band routers provide both 2.4GHz and 5.0GHZ frequency ranges. HP printers connect to the 2.4GHz frequency band and the 20 MHz bandwidth only. Many dual band routers let devices connected to the 2.4 GHz band communicate with devices connected to the 5.0 GHz band. But not all routers support this feature.
To manage the different bands and what devices connect to each, try assigning a unique SSID (network name) to each band. For example, name the 2.4 GHz band to “Mynetwork” and the 5.0 GHz band to “Mynetwork-5G”.
Communication and connectivity issues might occur with the printer connected to the 2.4 GHz band and the computer connected to the 5 GHz band. Try connecting the computer to the 2.4 GHz band.
As long as your router is broadcasting both network channels, you should have no issue connecting.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

Creating a Dual Band Network

I have the newer Airport Extreme Base Station, with N capability, before it supported Dual Band. I also have an Airport Express. What I want to do is broadcast a network in my home with 5GHz for my Macbooks and a second network on the AE at 2.4GHz for everything else. I've tried many times to get this to work, and I keep getting the error message that the DHCP overlaps with the AEBS. What should I do? I know this can work somehow.

Hello Rad Mac. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Setting up a "dual band" network is described in the Designing AirPort Networks document, starting on page 48. Please check out the document and post back if you still have any questions.
