Question of the Week

 

Dual band wireless routers- share files across bands?

Question of the Week If I buy the Linksys E3000 (simultaneous dual band) or something like it and have one PC on the 2.4ghz band and another on the 5ghz band can I share files between the 2 PC's even though they are on different bands and have different SSID's? How does this work? Thanks -- jshoemaker21@...
